i have one of charlie hess's goose calls myself. he basically taught tim grounds how to make goose calls and helped him get started. but i find that tim grounds calls are extremely hard to blow and require alot of back pressure. next year i am going to start in the contest goose calling and i am getting ready to buy one of fred zink's new "money maker" goose calls. i would suggest thatyouget rid ofthat call and buy either a foiles or a zink. they are really nice calls and are fairly easy to blow depending on the model. but the important thing in goose calling is finding a call that fits you. go to a bass pro, or gandermtn. or another store like that and ask to blow there different goose calls, and then pick one out that fits you.
