Well, my wife and I went to Bass Pro Shops today and picked up some miscellaneous gobbler gear. I'm new to calling, so I picked up a variety of calls, including a M.A.D. Calls Shipwreck 2 diaphragm. Unfortunately, I got off to a slow start figuring out how to get a good seal and make it work right.

After some frustration, I gave it to my wife to try, and she starts yelping these really high-frequency notes. I can't believe it! I've definitely found my calling partner.

Women kind of got that (thang).! Wish mine did.[:@][]

My wife's still yelping away, but I actually caught up to her yesterday. She got off of work a little early, so we made a date and stopped by Dick's on the way home. I picked up an H.S. Strut Gold Premium Flex 4-Pack, and it sounds so much better than the M.A.D. diaphragm.

I have a perfect seal (the prophylactic is a little bit longer), and I was yelping and cutting like crazy. The Mag Split V IV really sounds great. I just put Real Turkeys III in my stereo and called along to it. I can't wait to take these out scouting this weekend.

if ya still want to try diaphram calls and your new too mouth calls. Go to a single reed. its easier to use for beginners. and when your comfortable w/ it. and have master the single reed goto a double and move up so on and so on. mouth calls can be difficult to use if your new to them. they take lots of practice to master. also, try getting an instruction video or audio tape on mouth calls. they will help you on how to make different calls with your diaphrams.
Good Luck !!!
