jschultz- You need to practice, practice, practice your routine for each call. Don't enter without a routine worked out beforehand. Most contests post the particular calls they will be judging beforehand such as plain yelp, assembly yelp, fly down cackle, cutt'n, purr, kee kee run, etc. etc. Find out what they're going to judge and then develop a routine for each call. Video your routine's. This will be your first contest so have fun with it.

Thanks, and good point about a routine for each call. Some of the small contests, depending on how many entries they get, won't have contestents do every call in the interest of time. If it is a NWTF qualifer they will, but if not they may cut the number of calls per contestant to save time. That's why it is so important to know in advance what the rules are.
