What would be the best (wood) push pin that is easy to get hands on? I have tons of calls but never had a nice push pin, would love to have one of Shannons but im not on the list and not sure when the list will open back up again. The only push pins I have are very old and I dont use them for nostalgia reasons
A Loftis chatterbox would be a good option that should be available.

X2 here. Also, any of the other "Chatterbox" type push pins sound great. HS Strut walnut push pin is pretty good, along with the earlier Quaker Boy pushpins. Finally, Winky Hicks makes a fine, great sounding PP. His are fairly easy to get.....Winky Hicks: (251)- 231-8086. Good luck....
X3 on the Loftis Chatterbox. I ordered from their website and it arrived in a few days loftiscustomturkeycalls.com
Well it sounds like everybody is on the same page! I'll check them out
One you won't see here but really is a nice sounding call is a Knight & Hale Tom coffin. Can be found on ebay and at times very cheap. Bought mine for 5.00 I believe plus shipping. Very easy to run.
Mount hollow makes a decent sounding pushpin

Here is some pics for you including Winky Hicks. These are some of my collection, all good ones to try. From top left: Knight&Hale Witchy Woman, Winky Hicks Sweet Hen, Lynch Wild Turkey, Kelly Callers, Persimmon Hill, Tom Duval Chatterbox, NWTF Chatterbox, Loftis Chatterbox, Ashby Chatterbox, Mountain Hollow, Dick Kirby Teakwood Chatterbox, and Shannon Kelly Snakewood. Good luck in your search......
thanks for the pictures, I have heard food things about the witchy woman as well but have never seen one for sale
One day maybe I will get on Shannons list, that snakewood is a looker

As you can see forms Shannon's posts, he wants to try and eventually get calls to those very interested in pushpins. Keep checking his posts, you may luck out and get one he throws on for sale. They are definitely worth pursuing for sure, he is a great guy to deal with too.

The only push pins I have are very old and I dont use them for nostalgia reasons
there will be no more list in the near future...once it's cleared out , that's gonna be the end of the list system , and I know of several call makers that are doing the same exact thing
I will be making calls in the future...listing them up here and first come... first serve ... This is to significantly reduce the overhead I have making these calls ..and that overhead is TIME ... It takes a insane amount of time to play phone tag when the calls are being made
Some people might be taken aback by this , but trust me it will work out for those who want calls , and they will get calls
I'll be making turkey calls throughout the month of May at a furious pace ...mostly Macassar and blackwood ..when you see me post them up Hollar at me and I'll let you know the situation
Im hollaring, posting, PMing, faxing, emailing, keying you up on CB and sending smoke signals....let the wait begin!
