Frequently Asked Questions

Q : Do you use an emery cloth to scratch the surface of the slate?

A: Yes, you want a nice chalky surface before beginning. It is NOT for sanding the pegs down like other calls.

A: Yup. Our turkey calls are very user friendly.

Q : Does your turkey call have dead spots like the hockey puck calls?

Q : I'm a beginner — which turkey call setup is right for me?

A: Our friction call is a great place to start. The emery cloth prep is simple (see the FAQ above), and the included two-voice striker lets you produce a range of hen sounds right out of the box without switching equipment. If you want to explore more sounds as you improve, visit our Soundboard page to hear what the call is capable of. Every call is USA-made and built to be forgiving while you find your rhythm.

Q. Do you apply a lot of pressure on your slate with striker?

A. No, you do not need a lot of pressure to make. Sound with call. In fact. You want to try to keep the tip of the striker flat to the surface as possible With a slight tilt start softly, and then you can increase pressure. As you start having a feel for the striker. Increasing pressure will increase the volume of the sound. But start slow until you feel how it works. The call itself, we'll generate a lot of sound with minimal effort due to acoustics embedded in its design. It will require a little practice. People would experience with slate call. Sometimes have trouble trying to operate it. Because they treat it like the call that they know. This works completely different. It's very responsive.
