Zinger, Field Trialer G5, Silver
The Field Trialer™ (FT) is the original Zinger Winger™—introduced more than 30 years ago and still one of the most respected bird launchers in retriever training. Its compact design and powerful throwing performance give trainers a clear advantage over smaller, less capable wingers. When paired with optional remote release electronics, the Field Trialer™ becomes a critical tool for building consistent, competition-level marking skills.
To compete successfully, retrievers must train on marks that replicate the distance, arc, and height found in Hunt Tests and Field Trials. The Field Trialer™ G5™ is engineered to deliver those same realistic presentations every day in training.
The Field Trialer™ G5™ launches ducks, pheasants, pigeons, Dokkens, bumpers, and live flyers with confidence. Weighing only 15 pounds and folding flat to 1.5" x 25" x 65", it is easy to transport while offering exceptional field versatility. Trainers can quickly adjust direction, arc, and height to create endless marking scenarios.
Compatible with Dogtra and Garmin (Tri-Tronics) remote electronics (except manual version), the Field Trialer™ allows true solo training. More champion retrievers have been trained with Zinger Winger™ remote launchers than any other winger system available.
Advanced Performance Features
- Reinforced heavy-duty hinges for long-term reliability.
- Upgraded wire harness for consistent electrical performance.
- Two power settings to customize throw distance and height.
- Servo-actuated Multi-Shot Sound™ release system.
- Supports 209, .22, and .32 caliber blanks.
- Silent launch capability when blanks are not used.
The Multi-Shot Sound™ system fires the blank at the exact moment of launch, making it easier for your dog to visually lock onto the bird in flight. This improves marking accuracy, increases retrieves, and builds confidence. The .32 caliber blanks closely replicate a 12-gauge report, making them ideal for true Field Trial-style marks.
Each Zinger Winger™ now includes the Rolling Release™ pouch bolt, engineered to ensure smooth, flawless launches while eliminating pouch hang-ups and reducing primer misfires caused by metal wear.
All Zinger Wingers™ are proudly made in Canada using premium components sourced from both the USA and Canada.
- Ducks: Long (25 yards) - Short (15 yards)
- Bumpers/Pigeons: Long (40 yards) - Short (25 yards)
- Dokkens: Long (35 yards) - Short (20 yards)
