XT Calls
« on: December 18, 2017, 07:33:12 AM »
Steve Kinder has started up a website again to sell his mouth calls. In my opinion they are some of the best out there. I know many have talked about them before so just wanted to give a heads up.

Good news! I've been nursing my last one for two years and it still sounds good. I'm a big fan.

Ordered 1 of each. Geez what great calls! I especially like the thick tape on the Pro Havoc. Looks like he's the only one who has any to sell. That stuff vanished few years ago. Every call has turkey in it too

If you had to choose 2 which ones would you guys pick? I'm a Gooserbat guy but always willing to try something new.

Havoc and Rampage

I like them all. I guess choosing would be any of the Havoc versions and Chaos. The black tape on the calls is excellent too but personally I'm loving the thick tape Pro Havoc. I understand the latex is from a few years ago which is easy to tell because it's actually white and sounds amazing. Looks like you can get a call nobody else is making! The Havoc with purple latex is a screamer too. GREAT calls all the way around

Thick tape fan too? I see people last couple years looking for it. I know I used XT in the past but it went away.

yes i love the older style thick tape, It's very hard to find anyone that makes calls with it.

I just ran across an ad on FB. It looks like a sale on 4 of his calls.

Yep. It's a great call. I've been running the Chaos lately too. It has a very wide range of tones and pitches and hardly takes air to run.

he doesnt use a machine, no way for them to be consistent. The ones I got were junk, stretched so tight they were un-usable, I spoke with him & was promised replcements, they never came.  Mike

Something about this story does not add up.  I have heard a lot of people talk about his calls but have never heard anyone say they were junk.  Of course some liked others better and some did not like the old stiff tape, but never junk.  I have used XTs for a long time and never had any problems with any call he sent.
