First Duck Call

[Hillbilly]

This is my first game call period. A friend at work said I should start making duck calls. He said if I make them, he would sell them. So this is my first one. I've been reading up and from what I can tell it could take as long to tune as it did to make the call. I believe I will leave that to my friend who's the duck hunter.

Looks good, when the stuff I sent you gets there you are gonna be busy. :biggrin::biggrin:

I cant wait ! Landon I am mailing yours in the morning. Saturday morning I was called out on a call and the post office closed at noon so I did'nt get yours in on Sat.
Its ready and it will be in the mail in the morning.

Looks great, nice work.

Yeah...let him tune them....at least if your married or living with a woman. I was not so nicely threatened that If I didn't stop quacking, that she would shove my duck call someplace where the only time it would quack was when I passed gas.

Y If I didn't stop quacking, that she would shove my duck call someplace where the only time it would quack was when I passed gas.

Oddly enough, I'd like to hear this. :tongue:

You know, it does present some unique marketing ideas. I know plenty of
people who will surreptitiously pass gas and blame it on 'barking spiders' or
on ducks.

Perhaps the calls could be modified to make this seem more realistic?
"The Stealth Quacker" ?

I cut the tone board into the rounded end of the insert. I copied a "Primo Call" and took all the measurments from it. This is my first and last 3 piece my next one will have a seperate tone board and not one that i have to cut into the insert. They got to be easier.

What do you mean by cut the tone board? I'm going to try one myself.

 

[NewLondon88]

That's not a kit? You cut your own tone board.. that's pretty good!
From what I've been told, that's make or break for a call.

The tone board is what the reed (.10 strip of mylar) lays on and is held in place with cork. The length of the reed determines the tone the longer the reed the deeper the tone and then its trimmed to adjust. This is by only what I've read I'm not a duck hunter. As-matter-a-fact after I made it... I blew in the wrong end of it. I did'nt know which end was which:embarrassed:. I just tried to make it just like the one he gave me. I still dont know how to use one.

Thanks for all the replys.
