I was at the show today and was talking to Bill. He told me that all his world class calls are hand made and that they are made 1 at a time. He says he only make a limited amount every year. I bought mine about 2 or 3 years ago and payed 75.00 for it now they are going for 125.00. While i was there i had bill match another striker to mine becuase I lost mine last year. I know one thing for sure the world class call that i have is top notch. One the best sounding slates i have!!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
