4.1. Field Placement

Place the loaded launcher in the desired training area. Ensure it is stable and positioned to allow for a clear launch path. The launcher's design with scent holes helps in natural scent dispersion, making it effective even when partially concealed in grass.

Ensure the safety pin is removed from the launcher.
From your remote transmitter, press the Bird Button to initiate the launch. The launcher will release the bird with its quiet-release springs.
The BL509 offers a remote range of up to 700 yards, allowing for flexible placement and control during training.

5. Održavanje
