Im looking at saving my Christmas money toward a winger. Anyone have inputs on Gunners Up and Zingers? Any others? Im talking about the larger stand up models.

I have a Zinger Winger that I have used for years. I've never had any problems with it.

For a Boykin!? :) I'd get something with multiple shots. I hate wingers for training.

I have both Gunners Up and Zinger.

I would go Gunners Up. The release on its better in my opinion. Plus the replacement parts are cheaper.

Happy...what do you mean by something with multiple shots? And what kind of beer do you like?

And i have heard Gunners Up is a better company to deal with.

I want to have a set up like the hunt tests so i dont have to travel and spend so much money on failures. Although the only failure i had was because of nasty worn out ducks.

Two people I know have the thunder launchers. They like them a lot as do I. Wingers are good and the only choice for launching ducks. Just they are a pain to reload over and over again. If you have to substitute people you really don't have much choice.

Whoa! A bit pricey. I need to set up like the HRC events. My problem is my dog doesn't like slobbered rotten ducks. If HRC used dummies, i would be in dog heaven.
