This has become my new favorite call. It’s an African Padauk double sided call with glass on top and rare red slate on the bottom. Excellent raspy old hen sound. The glass is loud, raspy and mid range tone. The slate is more subtle for purrs, clucks and beautiful tree yelps. Comes with Chechen...
I like it. It’s usually pretty spot on with its models. If you fire a couple starting loads and use that data for calibration it’s pretty dead nuts. I bought a windows 10 laptop (refurbished) off eBay for $125 and that’s all it gets used for and does fine.
Dang! Never even been close to a griz, we only have blackies but I once found myself stuck between a mamma and twin cubs with only a broken piece of a shooting stick I used to knock down briers to defend myself. Luckily, they all just ran and met up and went on their merry way. Since then, I've...
I've found it good brass in general. I've used it for Grendel, 7-08, 308 and 223 without any issues. Never used their nickel brass, but one thing I noticed using Win nickel brass is make sure to use a VLD chamfer or it'll shave bullets.
I sure have built several that I wasn’t happy with. I put them on a shelf I call “the island of misfit toys”… the one I’m most excited about now is a Padauk double side with glass on top and red slate on the bottom. Then like Jim said, the walnut and cottonwood box call has a solid reputation as...
Osage is a denser/heavy wood and tends to have a deeper tone, it also works well when you size it down for a copper or aluminum call. Padauk is light weight wood, and it makes some loud calls with a mid-range tone. Both usually impart a ton of rasp. Really boils down to personal preference. I...
Making calls with any image. I use Osage, African Padauk, and Flamed Osage. They are double side calls with glass on top and a smaller slate on the bottom. They come with a striker, Maintenace kit, and acrylic display stand. The pics will be re-sized to fit the call and professionally printed...
