Title: Testers needed
Post by: zelmo1 on April 24, 2018, 07:25:00 AM
I have 14 pot call prototypes that I made up, I would like some truthful feedback from real hunters so I can get better at this great hobby. If you want to test some or all of them, please pm me here and I will get back to you. I have a few people here at home, but you guys are the real hunters. I don't want a pretty call that works on judges, I want an ugly killer, lol. Thanks, Al Baker.

I would try the lace wood double glass. Can't say I will kill a bird but I will dang sure try. Long as there are no hidden fees and you don't mind a few scratches on it.

I would ask but I know my limitations, there are those there that would be able to do a far better review for you than I. Best of luck and thanks for the chance.

No hidden fees or gimmicks here guys. I am a regular guy who needs to be doing something and I love turkey everything. I am compulsive as hell and started making calls with my 11 year old daughter. I am into it, trying to get some real turkey killers. Looks are secondary to me, so these are rough but with a finish on them. All I ask is that you provide feedback to me. I would like to get them back as my name is on them and they are not "Purdy" yet. After all the testing, I will donate one or maybe a set with strikers for a contest later on. This is fun for me now, maybe in 10 years when I retire, I may go to local gun shows and sell them if they are workable.  Thanks again and I will get out the first bunch this weekend. Please PM me your name and address along with your preference of calls. When I get to your name on the list and that call is gone and you only put one, I will send you the closest I have until they are gone. I have more requests than calls right now so I will do a second mailing when they come back. I will mail them out this week. If I do not have your info by Friday , I will go to the next person on the list. You will all get a shot. This is really helpful, Thanks again . Al Baker
