I have been using the true-talker for about three years or so and I absolutely love it. I have had no problems with it falling apart and the sound quality is the best I have heard. A buddy of mine bought the true-talker before I did and when I heard him use it, I went out that night and go one. One time, I didn't see a doe around me stand (within 40 yards of me) and I moved and spooked the doe out into this open wheat field about 200 yards away or so. I waited a minute or so and used my true-talker and was able to call the doe back to within bow shooting range. I didn't shoot that deer, but I was definitely excited about one of my first outings with my true-talker.
