well first off you don't want to call for 3 minutes straight,you will run out of breath,pass out and miss that big ol coyote trotting by <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>do the whaaa,whaaa,whaaa 5 to 9 or so times then break off.wait long enough to take a breath then do it again.do this 4 to 6 or so times then break off for 3 to 5 minutes.if nothing has showed itself start the series over again.do this with emotion,after all you are dying.start with you hand over the end of the call tube and at the end of each whaaa open your hand up,before starting the next whaaa cover the end of the call tube again and so on.do this with the all important quaver,the quaver is the emotion.make it sound like the rabbit is scared and shaking,quivering whitch makes his voice quaver.this is a hard thing to discribe in words.the tape you have should have this quavering on it,listen to it carefully.i'm not sure what call the pc-7 is(i think its made by johnny stewart)but regardless of what type it is(open reed,closed reed,variable pitch)you don't have to blow hard.if your trying to get more volume out of a call that isn't a long range call then it won't sound good.blow just hard enough to make the call sing.your hand calls are no different then an electronic call box,to much volume is not a good thing(unless your calling crows)control the volume on your hand calls by covering the end.if low volume is needed then don't uncover the end of the call or open your hand the opposite way throwing the sound behind you and away from the predator.if the pc-7 is a close in coaxer call then use it as so and invest in a long range(loud)call.if it is a long range call then invest in a close in coaxer call,you should carry both types with you.always start out with the close in,not so loud call then if nothing shows and its a little windy or your in wide open country,go up to the long range call.hope this helps,its realy hard to make a sound in words.
