RE: Double vs. triple

I agree with Wholelottagobble on this one.

I like using calls made my smaller companies or "custom" companies. I like Cane Creek. Their "lost poult" is a great call that goesn't require very much air pressure at all. Its a double reed.

I was looking at the mouth calls at Wal-Mart the other day and just about every one of the mass produced calls are the same price and most are higher than most custom mouth calls.

I can't get the hang of a triple reed call. It has too much of a "squeak" in it for some reason.

These small companies will make the calls the way YOU want them, if you don't like the cuts they already produce.

I know a guy who makes some pretty good mouth calls and is very cheap. I think he was a state calling champion at one time. If you go to www.wildturkeyzone.com/forum and look for "BIRDMAN" on the forum. Just PM him and ask him about his calls. He will cut them just like you want.

I haven't tried Legacy calls yet, but I am going to order some just as soon as I get a little bit of money saved up.

As for the kind of tape, either the smooth or rough does fine with me. Although I do like the smooth a little better b/c it doesn't soak up spit like the other.

Like stated above, I don't really think that theres a "beginner" call. I started with a triple reed, but couldn't ever get the hang of it and still can't.

Cane Creek went up on their price this year, but they are still only $5.00 a call if you buy the already made calls. If you get him to cut it like you want it, they are $6.00 (i think).

Hope I helped.
