I primarily use Hook's or Gooserbat calls... They are both affordable, but not made cheaply...
As far as the cuts of the calls, I tend to think that our own pallet and the manner we push air through them makes some calls horrible for some, and great for others...
Gooserbat, I like the Hillbilly and the Heckler..
Hook's I like the Player, and the Executioner 2...
I know, V-cut calls are not supposed to sound great, but they sound good to my ear... I record myself on all the calls, and decide which are easiest for me to play, and which sound best when played back....
