Turkey Calls / Re: Premium Calls and Custom C...

Last post by rasnickr - March 17, 2026, 12:56:49 PM

Some people are just collectors and will never hunt with the call or learn to play it.

As my dad use to say, "Some like vanilla and others like chocolate".

I have several Brian Mero calls and enjoy them very much!!  I bought them to hunt with and they meet my expectations in both price, quality, and workmanship!!

Perhaps Premium and Custom go hand in hand when selling a call??

Turkey Gun Sights & Optics / Meadow Creek rib mounts

Last post by Meleagris gallopavo - March 17, 2026, 12:46:21 PM

All my turkey guns have Sumtoy bases screwed directly into the receiver, which I like a lot.  My son is getting a Retay Gordion that's not drilled and tapped for optic mounts (I think it has one hole to help secure the rail), so I'd have to get it drilled and tapped to receive a receiver mounted base.  Been reading about Meadow Creek rib mounts for a few years and I've never heard anything negative.  I haven't really considered them before because: 1) I don't like the aesthetics of the rib mount (I'm really quirky about how stuff looks); 2) I'm uncertain how the sight picture will be with the rib mount vs. receiver mount; and 3) I question the rigidity/stability of a rib mount so far as holding zero.  There are plenty of advantages that have been stated regarding the use of Meadow Creek rib mounts.  I'm thinking of one now that I haven't considered.  I wear readers so I have trouble seeing things up close.  Would the rib mount help with that since it's further away from my eye?  I've been holding up documents further away to approximate how far away the rib mount would be, and can read them more easily than I can the receiver mount distance.  I haven't been missing turkeys, but now I think the rib mount would be an inexpensive, logical switch for me.

My questions are:
1. Has anyone wearing readers noticed being able to see the reflex image better with the rib mount?
2. Are there downsides to using a rib mount?
3. The Meadow Creek brand rib mounts are hard to find right now.  There are "knock-offs" that are available at a lower cost.  What do you think of the "knock-offs"?

A Quaker Boy aluminum pot I found in a clearance bin for $5. Should have bought them all.

Trumpets / Wingbones Forum / Budget/Price Point Wingbone, C...

Last post by Dhamilton1 - March 17, 2026, 12:17:22 PM

I fully understand that these calls take time to create so it warrants the typical going rate.

However, I'm justcurious if there are any budget/price point wingbone, cane or Jordan style yelpers?

Less than $100 or even $50 ?
