Default Primos turkey calls

Anyone use Primos mouth calls? I went to our local Gander Mountain retail outlet to look for turkey calls. I don't have a single call to my name yet but I do know I will probably go with a mouth style call so I can keep my hands on my bow. Primos has a package deal that has 3 different mouth calls plus an instrucional video that includes 2 hunts to watch.Any feedback on their calls would be appreciated.

F-I-C,Mike brings up a good point a diaphragm needs to stay stationary at the roof of your mouth to work properly,and the key is finding one that fits your pallet to where it does'nt slide all over the place.If air gets around the call it wont function right and if the call is sliding around at the roof of your mouth thats what happens.Sometimes it may take awhile to break-in a call to where it does'nt do this,or you can make it fit better by trimming the outside materail off.Some campanys like Quakerboy make large and small frame calls or like H.S.struts alumi line of diaphragms calls you can bend the frame to make it fit better.I've tried a few of Primos diaphragms before and they did not fit my pallet comfortably enough to satisfy me,but that does'nt mean it wont work for you.H.S.strut sells a video called &quot;So You want to be a Turkey Hunter&quot;that covers calls and calling that may help. They also have a series of videos called H.S strut University series dealing with specific calls such as mouth,friction,box,and locater calls,that include a call and the video and how to use it.Cabelas carrys it!Hope this helps. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I like the Primos calls the best because they were the easiest for me to learn with and can be easily trimmed to fit your pallet like most mouth calls . Just try a few different brands and see what YOU like the best .

I like Primos calls but I found that they are very hard to learn on. They dont seem to have any consistency in their call sizes which makes it hard for a begininner. Also I find their stacked calls awful big in my mouth. Having said all that they do sound nice once you get onto them.

I tried many different mouth calls and couldn't make any of 'em work, then I tried the Primos Hook series. Wow, for a beginner, the Palate Plate design makes all the difference in the world. I'd suggest you try one from the Hook series first, to get the hang of it. I now use mouth calls from M.A.D exclusively. Good luck.

I know Primos makes good turkey calls, but i bought a limbhabger a few
years ago, and all it would do is squeak! hadn't tried any more of
their calls. quaker boy, and HS strutt, are hard to beat!!

i just want you to know i have mouth call's from primo's,quaker boy,h s strut, but the mouth call i would use is the raspy red put out by newman brown of runandgungamecalls.
it is great.and it will get you the bird's
if you get the outdoor channel watch jandjoutdoors 12:30pm Sunday
4:30pm Friday
7:00am Tuesday
then you can here jerry use the raspy red mouth call. if not call newman brown and he will let you hear it over the phone.
check out the web site it's at the end of my message.



aim for the broad side of a deer and aim for the redhead of a gobbler.
GOD BLESS SAFE HUNTING
please visit http://www.runandgungamecalls.com/
we at runandrungamecalls think getting the bird is a good thing!!!!

I have tried every major supplier of mouth calls and like Penns Woods the best, followed by Preston Pittman & Knight & Hale. I never did like any of the Primos calls, though.
