Abstract

An automatic, pneumatic mock bird launcher is able to launch a plurality of mock birds utilizing compressed air from a location remote from the user/trainer. An RF link between a transmitter carried by the trainer and a receiver mounted onto the launcher and in communication therewith relays command signals from the trainer to the launcher. The launcher utilizes a rotating carousel that holds a plurality of mock birds ready for launching. Upon receipt of a command signal the launcher fires a mock bird into the air. This allows the trainer the opportunity to train a bird dog without the constant interruption of repeatedly loading the launcher. An air pressure adjustment feature allows the mock birds to be launched to varying heights. The launch elevation of the mock birds is also adjustable. The combination of adjustments to the air pressure and elevation results in varying heights and distances for the mock birds.
