RE: bird launcher
Pigeons, and quail will be fine, the pheasants will over lay, when you start hunting, if you make him steady, if he bumps a pheasant, make your correction on the chase, then I will assume, then next bird will be a lot better. It will maybe take a bird or two, but not usually. Be careful not to make the dog trap shy, if presented wrong, it will overlay into possible bird blinking, always remember: no two dogs are the same.
