I learned off the same video that's posted.  They sound a little better as the slate gets worn in.  IMO a nail call's clucks and purrs are excellent, but the yelps are only fair.  I hate practicing them indoors because they have such a piercing pitch, but I know there are some birds that like that.  I have one in my arsenal this year.  But, if it doesn't start getting results, I may move on to other calls in the future.
