Borch & Beretta390..you both gave me my laugh for today. I understood exactly where you're coming from as I too have one of these calls myself. Wade Bourne made it look & sound real good on TV, but once I'd tried it and I've never taken it into the woods. It just doesn't sound right, even when you change to different reeds..Guess I'm stuck with the diaphragm & box calls. Has anyone used the HS Strut new slate "360 surround sound" as yet..I would like to know how that one sounds.
