I purchased the same call last year and really like the sound you can get with it. Mine has 2 holding points on the handle, one for a young hen and one for an old hen. For the yelp, if you slide the lid back and forth about an inch, the box will do the work for you and make a great sounding hen. Don't press down too hard, just let the handle lightly slide. The most important point to remember is to slide the handle with the correct rhythm of a real hen. While hunting in Pa. last year, my cousin and I were having a hard time getting an answer with his mouth calls. I took out the Hurricane call and on the first series of about 6 yelps we heard Gobble oobble obble! We ended up calling 2 in that morning that had answered the Hurricane box call. I scored on the first and my cousin scored on the 2nd about 2 hours later. Hope this helps, and a little practice each day will have you sounding great in no time.
