This is a little call we have been doing quite well with the past few years. Works great anytime during the season, but shines in the late season due to it's quiet nature.

That's very cool!
Scpossum,
Do you have a target weight for the purr pot striker? I don't want to know your target weight, I just would like to know if you have one. Thanks
Great call. When you hunt it, do you have a particular way you hold the pot?

I was trying to figure out how to answer your other post. Yes, no, kind of. Lol. I have just spent weeks on working on a peg for a different little slate/purr call. The main things I have found that affect the striker is the wood that holds the peg (especially the weight of the wood), the peg hole that the peg fits in, and the bigger hole the peg travels through. My little P3 call is normally made out of mahogany and the dimensions of each are fairly close. Therefore, the wood part holding the striker peg is fairly consistant in weight. Since the weight is the same most of the time, all I am concerned with is tuning the peg by increasing or decreasing the length of the peg provided all other parts of the call are the same. It is not as easy as cutting a specified length of striker peg and just gluing it in. For me, to get the best sound, I have to hand tune the peg because all wood is different. Not all make the cut. In the case of the new call, I had to beef up the striker body to get the sound I wanted. The good thing is you can tune a peg striker to the pot before it is finished. Not so easy on a full length striker. Now you have me thinking and I am probably going to be weighing each one tomorrow. Ha!

Yes, I hold the pot part cupped in my left hand. Depending on how much you cup it affects the sound. Your hand is basically the soundboard. The closer the pot is to your hand, the more pronounced the yelp. The more cup you have lends to a more hollow yelp. The striker is held between my thumb and middle finger in the middle part if the striker where the inward curve is located. Most of the time the outer inside of my palms are together so I retain control of the call. Kind of like you play a nail call.
There have been times on a close gobbler I have played it one handed.
