I have several friends that make calls and can hook you right up. Can't post them because I'm not advertising for them but I can pm you some connections.
hey skb, don't think any harm was intended here man. pretty sure genisis was just suggesting some mouthcalls, not intending to consider them to be handmade or custom. and what's wrong with buying a plastic call anyways? most custom calls i know are up to $40-$50. nothing wrong with spending half of that from an american trustworthy company like primos. i use nothing BUT their calls and it's still traditional using hand calls over electronic calls, regardless of how it's made. if you're looking for as handmade and custom as it gets, then that's making it yourself. otherwise any hand call you buy is about the same.
i'd personally rather suggest a hunter wanting to start mouthcalling to go with a trustworthy factory-made handcall for a fraction of the price of a custom handmade call. once you get better, spend the extra buck on a nicer handcall. just my opinion
