A complete five-piece hen pheasant training progression with 1lb, ball, bird, launcher and bird-launcher formats. Designed to move a steady gundog from hand-thrown retrieves towards realistic launcher work.
Why We Recommend It
For handlers who use launcher work, this is the strongest quarry-specific progression in the range and covers the whole journey without skipping foundations.
Key Benefits
Full progression from hand throws to launcher distances.
Five distinct profiles for varied training.
Realistic quarry-specific visual pattern.
Builds steadiness, confidence and carrying experience.
Big bangs and long marks are exciting—believe me, I know. But the best retrieve starts with four paws still and two ears switched on. — Bailey

How To Use
Start with the 1lb and bird dummies at short hand-thrown distances. Add the ball and fuller bird profile as confidence grows.
Only introduce launcher formats when steadiness, delivery and recall are reliable. Follow all safety instructions.
Care Guide
Inspect every item before use. Wipe clean after training and air-dry naturally before storage. Do not leave wet dummies sealed in a bag. Replace damaged items. Training aids only—not chew toys.
Professional Insight
Launcher distance is valuable only when the dog remains steady and under control. This set provides the steps before that distance.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Treat the launcher as a distance tool, not an excitement machine. Reward stillness before the retrieve and insist on the same calm delivery expected at ten yards.
ProTrain Principle
Steadiness comes before distance.
