Didn't have good luck with the bird baskets. I sold mine and purchased three magnum 2000's from www.oriondogsupply.com . These units can throw large bumper or ducks. Take a look at them before you buy bird baskets. You can handle three on an atv and set up unlimited marking drills or tests. They use tritronics or dogtra remotes and you don't have to use blanks, they are spring loaded. If you are doing upland training they will flush live birds, but be ready to shoot quick!!! Good luck and God Bless.
