Trumpets / Wingbones Forum / Re: Trumpet Yelps with Inflect...

Last post by EZ - Today at 09:02:41 AM

I'm curious, for those of you that have several years of experience with the trumpet (I'm a newbie), how do you break up your yelps and add inflection, so you aren't a monotone caller? Or can you?  With pots, diaphragms and boxes, which I am fairly proficient with, I can add hiccups and a good deal of inflection and excitement into my calling.  I know some will say Practice but is there some tidbits of instruction that will help?

Of course you can, and should. IMHO, inflection in your calling is far more important than anything else.

Just as you speed up your cadence, increase and decrease volume and levels of excitement on other calls to get the desired "feeling", you do the same with your trumpet or wingbone or cane. Wish I could tell you a shortcut, but there's no getting around the "practice" part of it.

Go on YouTube and watch videos of excited hen yelping of different degrees and play along.

I believe Jeff's calls rank up there with the elites of the box call world. I have a bloodwood and sycamore call that my kids will have to sell.

Turkey Guns / Re: Browning A5

Last post by Tom007 - Today at 08:15:41 AM

I've shot my Vinci one handed and from the hip many times at our private range shooting clay targets with various loads, and never had a cycling issue. The gun has to move some to cycle, it's in the name, inertia. If an inertia gun is prevented from recoiling at all, it won't cycle. I have no idea on how well the Browning system works though, I've never shot one, so I will defer to other's experiences. Too light of a load and too low of velocity can cause problems, and Benelli advises this in the owner's manual.

You are correct Ward. I am a big Browning Fan, I have Over-Unders, and the Gold Slug Gun(gas operated). They are fantastic Guns, no doubt. The New A-5 inertia on the Sweet 16 definitely has cycling issues. This video outlines the problem. I have shot Benellis for years, never had one issue. I even tried holding the SBE's away from my shoulder, cycled flawlessly. This is my experiences with these two guns.

Gotta chime back in and add Kip.... Ferocious Calls... in, here.

Another member gone WAY too soon.

i hate to hear this . I bought one of his "skunk ape" box calls a few years back and he was gracious enough to let me call him and talk turkey with him for an hour or so. He even sent the call to me for free, to check it out to make sure I liked it before I paid him. I was hoping to get some more of his box calls since he had a few others I had my eye on.

In my experience he was a very funny and generous individual.
