I saw an Ingenios, brilliant device today.

A perty smart guy I know, made a rotating turret platform, that is controlled by a tritronics pro control, then he mounts his thunder 8 shooter on top of that!

He can stand at the line up to 200+ yards away from the thunder, and rotate the platform to throw marks just about anywhere he likes.. Improves the versatility of the thunder.

Really simple design,,worked flawlessly.

Is this guy gonna be rich? Hes already smart,,,, Good looking,,, has a nice truck,,,, I dont know WHY he lets Gooser hang with him!

What do yo think? Has he invented something??

The guy who made the original max 5000s made these. When he sold the company, the produce went bye-bye.

I talked with the guy this AM, and tried to convince him he may have something special.
I was really impressed with how simple the deal is.
Most all parts are purchased from very common locations..

He made the prototype out of wood. I told him I thought it would be more durable out of Plastic. Waterproof also/

Trex decking would work also, but heavy..

Sounds cool and all but....
It's not very useful shooting marks from a fixed location in different directions. In general not good practice to do that sort of thing very often with your dog.

I'd love to see a remote control 4x4 little truck with a thunder or BB 4 shooter. Then you could drive that sucker most anywhere.

I was thinking of doing something like t Y drill with multiple dogs. Of coarse it would all come down to cost.

I came up with that idea in my head 2 years ago. Just didn't do anything about it.
