New bird launchers

I am in the market for a bird launcher or two and a store near my house has Innotek's on clearance, I know the rumors of there quality and all the others... but i have also heard that Sport dog bought out Innotek or something of that nature and I was wondering if I got a good deal it would be worth it. My luck with them in the past have been bad but I was wondering if there was a change.

I've been searching ebay and other places for used ones of different brands but to no avail.

I had major issues with Innotek collars, but I have 3 of their launchers that have worked fine over a quite a long time. I guess it would depend on how good a deal it was. IMO they are not as nice as the launcher that Dogtra makes (quiet, locate function), but will work fine if the price is right.

I have had three of their launchers for three years now and they have performed flawlessly. Three years ago they were totally redesigned and it's my understanding there is little trouble with them now.

I would not pay more then $170.00 each cause you can find them for that. I have had 3 for a long time and they work great but had to replace the remote.

There doing the whole package remote, motor and launcher for 189.99.. I think there the older model and there making room for the new ones or something of that nature.

I agree that seems to be a good price, roughly half the price they would be normally. grab a couple what the heck.

Went down to the store to pick one up and the guy said that Innotek wouldn't provide a warranty because there no longer made by the company or something. And with Innotek's track record I wanted to ask them myself first. Waiting on an email, hope they don't take to long they will be off clearance soon.

That's bogus man... discontinued or not, you still warranty a new in the box product. That is if the company is worth anything.....

I know several people that have Innotek launchers...no problems from any of them.

Best regards, Greg J.

I bought two from a pawn shop and promptly broke a spring on one of them. Innotek sent me a replacement part FREE!
