Robert is fabulous and very supportive of local training clubs, two thumbs up

I bought 5 z2s with dogtras first class service and communication. Remember everyone you get what you pay for and gunners up are made in china.

Robert is a great guy to deal with, he works well with the little guys which is rare these days. When I got into the trials, Robert was a great help in advice etc. Word of mouth is the best advertising in these economic times. I highly recommend Zinger Winger for your sporting dog needs.

I just 3 weeks ago won a zinger uplander from my club's NAHRA Field Test Saturday Evening Extravaganza. I knew I wanted a Tri-Tronics release. I got one from collar clinic. Sorry Tri-Tronics and dogs afield. Would have loved to have supported those with banner ads on our rtf but couldn't justify not saving $150. Yup used rocks!! and $150 is like a half tank of gas to go training. And tri-Tronics lasts forever so best of both worlds.
Anyway, because my release was used from CC and my Zinger was from a raffle I did not know, or have the paperwork to tell me, that I needed to reverse the wires on the zinger. So when I put them together nothing worked. I called the zinger number on the unit and left a message and in 5 minutes the friendly feller called me back and talked me through the wire reversal over the phone and showed me how to test it to be sure. Without launching a kitten across the living room.
OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! I would buy many more. Thank You Zinger!!!

"Received the crate less than 48 hours after ordering it (I expected it to take weeks). It's FANTASTIC!!! My only regret is not ordering one years ago, if I calculate all the crates I've gone through over the years I'd have saved a lot of money investing in a Zinger dog crate.

The flooring, so far so good. From now on the only crates I will use for my dogs are Zinger dog crates."

I have two in my truck. They are of high quality, same as everything else I have purchased from Zinger. Large, well constructed, doors have high quality latch with lock if needed. It takes two people to assemble but once there they should withstand a lot of abuse.

I got 2 of them and so far I think they are great!! I love the modular design as they can grow with your needs. If you add another dog down the road you and just order up a new crate and add it to your existing set up.

They are very well made and the silver powder coat finish really looks nice. There is a ton of ventilation so there are no worries during those hot summer months. For those of us that got to deal with the snow and cold I spoke to Rob and he is planning on offering Kennel jackets in the future for them.

They are very large and can easily accomodate the largest of labs with room to spare. Another bonus is that they are very light, one person can easily move a 2 dog system around without straining any muscles.

EDIT:

One thing I forgot to mention was that the insides of these are also powder coated so you do not have to worry about you dogs turning grey or black from the aluminum oxidization that ocurs in most dog crates. This is a huge bonus!!!!!!!!!

A superior method to securely attach receivers to any type of bird launcher and still allow for tool free removal. This allows for less pre use work and for end of season storage of the launchers outside with the receivers removed for storage inside the h

"I LOVE my zinger wingers - I have 7 - some old style and some newer - all bought used - but they work great! I have a client that bought the portable blind and she brings it for us all to use when she comes up to train with us. I thought it was a super idea! I asked Santa for one for Christmas - but guess he didn't get the message - I plan to buy one in the near future! Thanks for making great QUALITY products! I've used other brands of wingers - and they do not come close to zingers!!!"

"...my friend just picked up 4 Zingers from you, 2 for him. They are great. Amazing throws. Threw a pigeon 30 yards into the wind on low setting. [snip] Great Product."

"Ever since we lost our help last May we've used the Zinger Winger an average of 5 to 6 days a week, with multiple set-ups. We're on our second sets of rubbers and the wingers stay on the dog truck exposed to the weather. They have performed faultlessly. They are great as retired guns and can blend in or stand out as you desire. The throw is fantastic and really get's a dog following the bird. Cheapest bird boy I ever had."

“We want to let you know that we love the Wingers! Especially with the cold weather, it is hard to get anyone else to go out and train, but with these launchers, it doesn’t keep our dogs from getting marks! The throws are great and they are very easy to use. This is the best shape our dogs have ever been in, in the winter. Thanks again”

I have owned the Training Group, Lucyana Strong Arm, the bird launcher made by Tom Bridges (a tripod design), the Top Gun, and the Zinger Winger. [snip] The Zinger Winger is by far the best. I would not own any other type. The ZW will throw a duck much better than any person and it is always consistent. It does have its limitations in that it shoots only shotgun primers, but that is relatively minor. My dogs pickup on the sound at 350 plus yards. Rob Sampson was quick to make design changes and improvements based on user input and he has produced a great product. Mine have never failed except when I forget to plug in the Tritronics or when the batteries are low on the receiver or transmitter. Another great feature is that the receiver is mounted high on the leg about 60 inches off the ground. The others all mount near the ground which really interferes sometimes (brush, weeds, terrain, etc.) with the performance of the electronics. If and when you decide, get one from Rob. I am his best salesperson, unfortunately uncompensated!!!! They are the best."

“The Zinger Winger is the most versatile, reliable, and easy to use winger available. I have seen and used almost every winger that is commercially available and the Zinger Winger beats them all hands down. As far as versatility, the Zinger Winger has an adjustable arc and throw that will suit virtually any training or judging situation. The Zinger Wingers ease of use allows ANYONE to be a great bird boy. With a Zinger Winger as a part of your training equipment you no longer have to hope for a decent mark – it’s guaranteed!!”

“The Zinger Winger is an excellent thrower, not only as a remote, but as we field trainers get older, its ideal as a ‘hand-operated’ thrower for getting those wonderful long throws. Thank you so much for your wonderful thrower.”

They throw birds better than anything I’ve seen or used. They’re terrific!”

Still the BEST remote bird launcher around”

"After a lot of research on the Internet and in magazines, I purchased my first Zinger Winger last May 2001. I just purchased my second one last month. I purchased them from Lion County Supply, and they were drop shipped from you. I wanted to let you know how happy I am with your fine product. They have performed flawlessly. I have 2 labs and it was always hard to find help to throw bumpers or ducks. That problem has been solved with the use of my Zinger Wingers. I usually train 5 to 6 days a week so the launchers get a lot of use and I have never had a problem with either one of them. I really look forward to each training session to use my launchers. They are so easy and fast to set up and the variety of marks that can be thrown is endless. I thought maybe I would have trouble getting the dogs to mark on the launcher, but I was shocked when they both retrieved the first throws from the launcher. I am a member of the Sioux Valley Retriever Club and I have recommended your product to several members. I'm sure it won't be long and I will be purchasing my third Zinger Winger. Thanks for making such a fine constructed, dependable product. The dogs and I have a fun time using them."

"I love the winger - works great. It is so quiet! Every winger I have ever trained with makes clattering noises as the hooks, rings, etc fly off the release and bang the poles etc..this thing is so smooth and quiet - LOVE IT!"

"My dad, Michael Eastin Sr., just received his 3 Zinger Winger and electronics a few days ago. I tried them out for the first time this morning, and I'm very pleased! The construction is very solid, but yet very easy to set up. I was amazed at how high and far they threw. The most important thing is how well Ace, my female black lab, enjoyed it. She was so excited! I was able to throw more marks in 40 minutes than the past 2 weeks. Thanks."

"My equipment gets used, abused and beat up. These Zinger Wingers have yet to fail me."

"Just a quick word about the Zinger: AWESOME!!! What a piece of engineering! My dog got so fired up watching that bumper just fly. First time out I ran it as a single, then ran it as the memory bird on a double and she started whining when she got moved off of it for the go bird… she has NEVER whined at the line before! Obviously I don’t want noise at the line and I will correct it, but I took it as a sign that she was very fired up over the big flight of the bumper. It won’t be long till I will be ordering my second one."

“I have sent 1000’s of birds through my two launchers. They both still look close to new and nothing has bent, broken, fallen off, or needed adjustment. Because of the ease of the “manual” mode, they have seen regular service with human-operation as well as true remotes. The convenience of your lightweight design is second to none and what really tickles me, is how “grab and go” they are. They set up so fast it is hard to believe if you have used any other winger brand. Being able to adjust the throw angle infinitely, and reposition quickly if you need a change in the fall for a young dog is a real practical advantage.”

"I found your link on your home page to the Katrina article "ZINGER WINGERS SURVIVE HURRICANE KATRINA" interesting. In August my group was training and a tornado hit in Stoughton, WI. My zinger winger was thrown about 50 yards and took a few tumbles while million dollar homes were being destroyed. My remote fell off but there were no blemishes on the winger."
