Box call tuning help

[PA-strutter]

I'm having trouble getting a sound out of my box calls that I've been making and I think it's coming down to tuning and sound board wisdom. Can anyone share their wisdom with me or point me in the direction when I can find something on the topic. I'm coming up empty. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much sir. Where from in PA?

[paboxcall]

Western side of the state.

How'd the tuning go for your box call?

I'm on the Eastern side, about 20 miles south of Scranton.

I kept turning the screw a 1/8 turn until it was sounding hot. She's definitely a keeper.
