Fine looking call to be sure. What about it gives more control?
We will never know the secret of WHY / WHAT, but it has to do with his years of research / development and design of his internals of the caller ...

I got the acrylic. I'm kinda jealous of the ironwood.
I will say it's a great call

Ah okay, I thought perhaps it was the mouthpiece shape or something.

The mouthpiece is flattened.  When you look directly at the hole it looks rectangular.

Mike just called me about an hour ago.

My Limited Edition DIW and black cherry acrylic should be mailing out any day now !!!    Excited to get my hands on these.

Thank you for posting this. I wouldn't have known he was making these if it weren't for this post. I have one on the way.

Cool.  You don't see many of Mike's alphas and Omegas on here.

Do you think that's because they're made by CNC vs hand? Or because they're such small batch? Curious myself. I know he's respected as a call designer and there's been talks on the site about his older slate calls, etc. And the few times his Alpha or Wind Talker trumpets have been brought up it's all been positive, but his name is not thrown out at all really.

I have 2 of his plastic pots and they're great!

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

Mike is obsessive about call design, many of my first turkeys were with his plastic pots. He has been "off the radar" for awhile but has really come back in spades with his new Omega trumpet. Great to see him doing what he loves.
