MAD 4x4 or Quaker Boy Triple Threat??

doughboysigep · 02-07-2005, 05:34 AM

Just saw these 2 calls on my trip to PA this wekend. Don't really need more calls (i have 3 or 4 slate type calls now), but I like the idea of have 1 friction call for several sounds. What are peoples experiences/thoughts about these 2 calls? I scratched the TT and it sounded nice. Any info would be apreciated.

I found when you start breaking up the call into smaller surfaces the sound suffers.

I have a triple threat if you want to check it out I'll give it to you.

I've got the triple threat, and have had limited success with it. The slate sounds ok, but the other two surfaces didn't sound as good to me. I now own regular slate call that sounds much better.

I will never buy another MAD call in my life!

While I never tried one of those "multi-surface" calls before, I have to agree with Charlie. Stick with what you have now. I have a Slate, Glass, Aluminum, and a synthetic call surface, the Sla-Tek. I carry each of these in my vest, along with alarge assortment of strikers as well.

thanks for the info guys. Charlie, I tried the trip threat at Cabelas and liked it (very limited use). Were you offering to loan it to me or give it to me, cause i'd be happy to take it off your hands?

I'll try and find it you can have it. Haven't used it in years,you going to be at the CV meeting tomorrow?

The idea of this call , is to gather more then one turkey sound from the call. This is why you have a different pitch from each of the surfaces. When the average turkey hunter listens to a call he or she tends to listen for one Tone that sparks their ears. This is not what this call was marketed for , but only to give the hunter a differance in the call its self.

The comments about are right , because it was not made to win Compations with , but mearly to hunt with. I carry it all the time in the woods and its Kills birds. Find a Cedar striker and combo it with the Aluminum and you have the sweetest Hen yelp you can find...BT
