RE: New Mouth Call's Let's Grade Em,
I ran into a new line of calls last year called Heart Of Dixie calls.I am usually very suspect of new diaphraghms but these things are just all around good calls.From package to package they are extremely consistant also which is nice.Ive tried many brands where the call quality and consistancy was a luck of the draw situation.
I tried the dixe devastor 2,3 and 4 ( number dictates the amount of reeds)and liked everyone of them. My favorite for cutting is the 4 while the three reed is a perfect go to call.
One thing I really liked about them was they dont tend to stretch out as much as some other brands Ive used, they stay in shape and dont end up loose if I cheek em during an all day hunt.Ive tried several brands that would loose tone and sharpness as the day wore on.
Id give the devastaor 4 a 9 , it would be a ten but the call takes an experienced mouth to work it
the devastator 3 would get a perfect 10 from me its easy to use and will make a full range of calls with good rollover and control.
The devastator 2 would be mid range at 7 easy to call but just to limited in range for my style of calling.
