Default RE: Who are the top custom call makers?

I don't consider "over the counter" calls as custom so I don't think my Woodhaven calls are customs. BUT a grand custom call maker I DO recommend checking into is Robert Clifft of Bolivar, TN. One of his box calls won The National lastyear at the annual NWTF convention. He aptly names his calls, "The Last Call". Because that is the last call you will ever need, and he happily laughs that that is the last call a ol Tom will ever hear! Depending on what wood he uses, some of them are works of art as well. He is building me a singleside of mahagony and fiddleback maple that is OUT of this world. In fact he showed me the 3 calls he is taking too the Natonals just the other day. His fiddleback sounded AMAZING. Customers in the store came running while hearing it ring through the building!

I have the honor of taking him with me this spring too my family place in southern MO. Mr. Clifft is 81 years old, can't hear real well (his wife approves of his final tuning for his appx 100 calls handbuilt annually) but is a turkey chaser from waaaaaaaaaaaaay back!!!

Can't wait,
RA
