Title: Too much practice?
Post by: soky on February 18, 2019, 09:07:43 PM

I have no intentions of getting in any contest as of now but for the first time in my life I’ve been practicing everyday since October. When I say everyday I mean every. Single. Day...  A week or so ago I felt like I was calling better than I ever had in my life. For the past few days I feel like I’m getting worse. Have any of you contest callers ever experienced something like this? If so, how did you fix it? It’s driving me crazy.

Worn out call?

I’ve went through a few since I’ve started practicing more. By any chance do you know how long a call is good for if you’re calling a lot?

Depends, you can usually tell by how the call responds, most likely loses its pop/snap due to reeds loosening up from various factors.

There’s a lot to it could be the call could be the room I know on pot calls a change in air temp will change things for me if I do it to much I get in to a bad habit
