My name is Robert Sampson and the owner of Zinger Winger Incorporated. While I do not normally involve myself in online forum discussions I feel I must reply to my competitors believe that he offers the best remote winger and service on the market. The following list of features is long but highlights some of the many important differences between a true Zinger Winger and ?Gunners Up? attempt to copy our product.
Release Mechanism ? The heart and soul of any remote bird launcher is its remote release design and no mechanism comes close to the quality and reliability of a Zinger Winger release mechanism. All components of our releases were designed using CAD programs and are machined on CNC equipment for precision and quality. The stainless steel triggers and release arms are laser cut to the tightest of tolerances. The end result is a release mechanism that is easy to use, safe, and reliable and is easy to service when needed. Our Multi-Shot? release is designed to fire a 209, .22 or a load .32 blank and is housed in a curved ?Shotsound Chamber? to amplify the shot. This can be important to field trialers looking for that extra loud report at distances beyond the 209 primer range. Both releases are available in both servo and solenoid options depending on your preference.
Hardware & Components ? The smallest details that go into manufacturing a quality winger are often overlooked when comparing products from a distance. They may look the same in a picture but there is a world of difference. Pulleys - Our zinc plated steel pulleys are quiet and will not break (we have never had one fail in the 9 years we have been in business), Locking Nuts and Loctite - We use high grade locking nuts on all bolts so they don?t spin loose after extreme use (we even apply Loctite to each bolt as a backup), Rubber Tubing -Our high quality rubber tubing is designed to run smoothly thru the pulleys and propel the marks high and far (inferior low quality rubber will not throw the bird as far and will degrade quickly). We offer standard and heavy rubber for extra long throws, Aluminum and Welding - Zinger Wingers are made from aircraft grade aluminum and all frame components are TIG welded to ensure strength and integrity. Frame members assembled using rivets or bolts work loose over time and the wingers frame will become wobbly and unstable. This expensive TIG welding process means a stronger aluminum frame and a great looking weld. Again, we have never has a weld failure in the time we have been manufacturing wingers. Support Hinges ? The abuse our wingers receive is tremendous and any winger will survive only as long as the hinges that support its frame. Our heavy duty steel hinges are custom made to our specifications and assembled using SS bolts and locking nuts (No Rivets). We do not use the weak briefcase hinge found on our competitors? winger.
Quality Control ? Our release mechanisms are table tested under no less then 3X the normal winger load it will see in the field. When the release is finally installed on the assembled winger it is again tested to ensure wiring, release and other winger components function properly. We don?t test 1 in 10, 1 in 5 or 1 out of ever 2. We test each and every winger and release assembly multiple times to guarantee a product that will work once it arrives to the customer. This time consuming quality control is expensive but well worth the effort.
Warranty and Customer Service ? While we minimize our warranty issues by manufacturing our products to withstand the severe abuse it will receive in the field there will always be times when our customers require assistance. Zinger Winger Inc. follows the motto that the customer is always right and is looked after accordingly. We have a 30 Day money back guarantee and lifetime service warranty on all our products.
Product and Price Range ? One size does not fit all. We manufacture 5 models of remote bird launchers. From the popular ultra small Uplander? for marking and live bird releases to the monster throw that comes out of the Hunt Tester? there is a Zinger Winger to fit the individual needs and price range of all dog trainers.
To claim to have ?the best remote launcher? requires a lot more than just sending a product to China to be knocked off using inferior parts, manufacturing techniques and nonexistent quality control. It requires years of working with and listening to dog trainers to find out what they require in a remote winger. It means constructing a product using nothing but the best materials, manufacturing and quality control. It means offering features that your competitor does not have. To state otherwise is simply misleading the consumer in order to sell your product. To quote an old Chinese proverb ?The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten?. Actually that quote does not come from China but from North America.
Thank you to the many hundreds of customers who purchased our products and I want to remind those of you who may be looking to purchase a remote launcher in the future that Zinger Winger continues to offer a 10% discount to all hunt test and field trial club members. Any comments can be directed to [email protected] or call 1-800-351-8411.
