Idaho one thing to not lose focus of here is not to lose site of the fact that many other friction type calls kill turkeys too.Lot a guys feel they have the upperhand if there able to use a mouthcall,but if you'll notice in many cases even the best of mouthcallers use in conjuntion with or at least carry other calls in there vest.I would suggest learning to crawl before you walk inotherwords stay away from trying to do all the hard aggressive type stuff such as cutting,cackling and what not but learn to do a basic cluck,purr,and yelp on your mouthcall.This is where it starts and we have many hunters here who primarily use a diaphragm call when a bird moves in close after bringing him in with a friction call.Most of these close range calls clucks,purrs,soft yelps are relativley easy to produce with practice and are deadly in sealing the deal when that gobbler gets close and you need to bring him just a few more yards.Keep practicin because it is a great asset to be versitale in your calling repertoire..hope it helps Bob..
