Zinger, Zinger Winger II G5, Black
The Zinger Winger II™ (ZW-II) is one of our most popular models because it delivers the best overall value in the Zinger Winger™ lineup. While it does not throw quite as far as the Field Trialer™ (see comparison chart), it still presents a mark that looks exactly like what your dog will see at weekend Hunt Tests and Field Trials. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to transport and effortless to carry into the field.
The Zinger Winger II launches ducks, pheasants, pigeons, Dokkens, bumpers, and live flyers. It weighs only 13 lbs and folds flat to 1.5" x 25" x 56" for convenient storage and transport. Direction, arc, and height adjustments allow you to quickly tailor each mark to your training needs.
Built for Consistent Performance
The Zinger Winger II™ G5 features heavy-duty hinges, an upgraded wire harness, and our exclusive Sure-Shot™ release mechanism for reliable, accurate launches. The Sure-Shot™ system fires a 209 primer at the exact moment the mark is released, helping your dog visually lock onto the bird as it sails through the air.
This timing improves marking accuracy, increases recovery success, and builds confidence. The launcher can also be operated without firing a blank for a silent launch when needed.
Remote Release Ready
When paired with Dogtra or Garmin (Tri-Tronics) remote release electronics (sold separately), the Zinger Winger II becomes a powerful training tool. It allows you to present marks that match the distance, arc, and height seen at weekend Hunt Tests and Field Trials. To operate your winger remotely, order your remote release electronics here. A remote Zinger Winger™ is essential for solo training.
Rolling Release™ Standard
Every Zinger Winger™ includes the Rolling Release™ pouch bolt, engineered to provide smooth, flawless launches while eliminating pouch hang-ups and primer misfires caused by worn metal components. No maintenance required.
More champion retrievers have been trained using Zinger Winger™ remote launchers than any other winger on the market.
All Zinger Wingers™ are proudly made in Canada using parts and suppliers from both the USA and Canada.
- Ducks: Long (20 yards)
- Bumpers/Pigeons: Long (30 yards)
- Dokkens: Long (30 yards)
In field conditions, the compact form translates to easier transport between fields and blinds and quicker setup between retrieves. The unit weighs 13 pounds, reducing fatigue during long training days and keeping the dog close to the action. Adjusting direction, arc, and height lets you reproduce the flight paths your dog will see at weekend Hunt Tests and Field Trials without changing equipment. When used with a remote release system, it can present marks that match the distance, arc, and height your dog encounters in real scenarios, aiding solo training sessions without compromising safety. The design reduces hang-ups and misfires during live practice because the pouch bolt and linkage are tuned for smooth launches, even after rough field use. After training, wipe away dirt and let the unit air dry before folding flat for storage in the vehicle or gear bag. With proper setup, you can align your marks to the listed targets and yardages—ducks at about 20 yards, bumpers and pigeons at about 30 yards, and dokkens at about 30 yards—to support consistent recovery and confidence on retrieves. This workflow supports upland and waterfowl training programs that emphasize precise marking, controlled retrieves, and safe field handling.
