This one Red, you wont be disappointed. The little cheap hand held one hurts like a mutha!

Also, you can buy the .22 blanks at Cheapo Depot for 5 bucks, the only difference is they are not waterproof. I just put the dummy on the launcher before I load it so the water doesn't get pushed down into the blank. I imagine you could dip the tips into hot way though.

Yup, I use one, great for pushing the dog out on blinds in the water and on land. You can get different loads to shoot the dummies various distances.

The yellow loads from Cheapo Depot will launch the water dummy a 100 yards+. The green ones are around 75 yards. The field dummy weighs more so I step up one power load to get the same distance.

for all the spamming I would think a "I'll give you the best deal on one" would be appropriate. Just saying....

I thought I was making friends on WFF, which is why I kept trying to help. I sincerely apologize if I have offended anyone. That was never my intention!

I appreciate it Marsh. Whatcha got in mind? PM me with particulars if ya want

Don't ever take Jehler seriously.

Hey Red, you should get one of those surf casting propane launchers. I bet you could send a dummy 300 yards.

I'd make one out of PVC, a can if starting fluid and a grill igniter

How did that never cross my mind, a potato gun would make a great dummy launcher.

I tend to use the heavy loads (red package) to push the mutt out on retrieves, though right now I don't think I could find it in my garage.

I have the DT handheld one and have no problems firing it. Even my wife (damn feels weird to say that for real) and her hands that would make a mouse pecker look big has no problem sending dummies off.
