 Retriever Bumper Gun

The One-Person Retriever Training Gun

A revolutionary training tool.  With this bumper gun you will be able to shoot multiple bumpers, just by slipping on a different bumper.  (click on pictures for a larger image)

With the bumper gun you are able to shoot single or multiple marks without having to reload shells. The Bumper Gun uses the Remington or Dewalt 0.22 cal loads (you are able to get them from your local hardware store).

Each bumper gun is custom made by N.L. Franklin.***

Type of Gun: A Bolt action, 22 caliber rifle.

Dummies:

• Foam Launcher dummies
• Canvas Launcher Dummies

  "I have used the bumper gun for several years now and find it an invaluable training tool. Much faster to shoot multiple marks than traditional single shot launcher." Pro Trainer: Andy Ferg Slate Rock Kennel

• Dokken Teal Launcher Dummy

Loads

• Dewalt or Remington 0.22 cal loads
• MUST BE CRIMPED ENDS in order to chamber correctly and not jam.
• Yellow loads -- average 75 yards
• Red loads -- average 100 yards
• Purple loads -- average 135 to 150 yards
• All distances are dependent on the weight of the bumper and wind conditions.

ALWAYS REMEMBER GUN SAFETY:

The dummy bumper gun is a modified gun. Therefore, it MUST be treated as a gun.

1) The end of the chamber is permanently blocked. Therefore, burnt powder is always in the barrel. The barrel MUST be cleaned after every 20 to 30 shots so a cartridge will not stick in the chamber and cause a jam. In the event of a jam, there is a small hole in the end of the small barrel so a piece of wire can be inserted to remove the jammed cartridge.

2) NEVER point and/or fire the dummy bumper gun at a person or a dog.

3) Be sure the dog is behind the end of the barrel so the noise will not harm the dog’s hearing.

4) NEVER use a cartridge with a lead projectile because the end of the gun is blocked and it would cause damage to the gun and harm to people.
