Aluminum Calls
I have always seemed to overlook aluminum friction calls, probably because the first one I heard I didnt like. I have now decided to buy one. Which would be the best one in a reasonable price range?

RE: Aluminum Calls
I really like the Madd super aluminator but that is the only aluminum call I have used.It makes great calls loud or soft,wet or dry.It is my experience that aluminum calls require more maintanence than slate or glass calls.

RE: Aluminum Calls
Slatecall,
I've used the H.S. Strut Black Magic aluminum call for several years now with outstanding success! It comes with an acrylic striker and a carbon striker but it really shines when used with the H.S. rosewood striker. It sounds awesome for such a reasonably priced off the shelf call. Runs around sixteen bucks at the local Wal-Mart I believe. Give one a try, I think you'll like it also!

RE: Aluminum Calls
A third vote for the Black magic. It is an awesome call. The acrylic striker sounds the best to me, and it is easier to use; but the magic wand also sounds great when you practice with it. It is one of the sweetest calls that I have heard yet. I got mine for around twenty dollars. Well worth it. BB

RE: Aluminum Calls
I picked up a couple fo the QB Aluminator's a couple of weeks ago and was shell-shocked at the tone, and volume of this call, I was extremely pleased with it. Its very versitale
Makes me wish I would have gotten on long ago- I was like you, I had heard one a while ago and never cared for it, I probably wouldnt have one now if it wasnt for my son pitching a fit in the sporting goods store over one- I ended up going back and picking one up for myself.
Try one i, it's worth it

RE: Aluminum Calls
I use a Mad Calls Super Aluminatior, w/several different types of strikers.
I also have one of there multi tip strikers.
I am sitting inside a double bull blind, so the sound needs to escape the blind. It's a cotton/poly blend of fabric & sprayed w/blackout, it has 8 shooting windows + small viewing windows that the sound can escape thru. The volume created by the alumminum call "escapes" those confines a little easier.
I don't use it till later in the day, since it can be to loud in the early mornings. I like my wing thing & some soft calls, along with my morning coffee....

RE: Aluminum Calls
I have never been too crazy about aluminum calls..not until I got an Alumaglass by American Friction..it's probably my favorite and easiest to use friction call I have. It's not the real high pitched..although you can run it that way....just sounds good and can get raspy yelps also. http://www.midwestturkeycall.com/det...AF10&cc=T&dn=1
