Thanks MO. Good luck to you too. I think that call will be a turkey terror when I use it this spring. Which striker do you use on it? The acrylic seems to purr and cluck better while the magic wand seems to cutt and yelp a little better. I think I am leaning towards the acrylic though. I think it is easier to use and it sounds better. I do like the tone and pitch of the magic wand. Or should i interchange them while I call? Thanks. BB

Beard Buster,

I've found that with that particular call, the H.S. Strut Rosewood striker sounds by far the best on it. Wal-Mart usually carries them in a 3 pack of strikers by H.S. Strut. I can't remember the other 2 strikers that come in the 3 pack but it's cheaper to by it that way and not even use the other 2 strikers than to order 1 Rosewood striker and have to pay shipping charges. Put one of those rosewood strikers to the Black Magic and it'll really sing!

I will try that MO. Having the other two strikers can't hurt at all. I could just use them as back up. I usually make my own strikers and they can make about any call sing. I use cedar and maple. They seem to work very well. I am anxious to see what my call sounds like using that rosewood striker. I'll definately give it a whirl. Thanks. BB
