SPECIFICATIONS

  • Striker Material: Hickory
  • Handmade in the U.S.A. 

TECHNIQUE:

For the best results: 

  1. Make sure the call is appropriately conditioned with the included scouring pad.
  2. Hold the call away from your body; cup it between your index finger and thumb.
  3. Hold the striker like a pencil at a 70-degree angle to call; rest your other fingers solidly against the call.
  4. Apply light pressure from the striker when calling.

For the most consistent pitches and tone, use the upper third of the call. The center of the call produces deeper tones. 

  • Cackle: Move striker in straight, quick, ¼" lines, 7 to 10 times.
  • Cluck: Move striker very quickly in straight, ¼" lines using popping motion.
  • Cut: Move striker very quickly in straight, ¼" lines with broken rhythm (ex. 3 notes, 2 notes, 4 notes).
  • Purr: Slowly slide striker in a straight, 1" line across surface. Hold striker higher for more consistent sound. Use scouring pad to create additional friction as needed.
  • Yelp: Move striker in a short oval or circular motion in ½" lines, producing a two-tone yelp, 5 to 7 times in each sequence.
