Title: Shot Shell Yelpers Part II
Post by: NCBigShot on December 10, 2011, 02:55:25 PM
..Well, I stepped up my game a little since I made my first (let's call it a prototype) shot shell tree yelper a few weeks ago.

Here's the latest batch.

I spent a little more time making these.. The cane inserts are a better fit, and I dipped the ends in black paint to make the hull/cane contact less noticeable. Also found some nifty black synthetic 'cork' material to use as a lip-stop instead of natural cork, to match the black dipped bell of the call.. Again, another cosmetic improvement.

They sound great!
Two of these three are already spoken for... I'm thinking of putting one on eBay to see how it does.

Those are sharp! Would you consider making one from a hull used to take a gobbler next Spring?

Yep. He's hooked. :TooFunny:
Welcome to the addiction Ken. Fun isn't it?
I like these and hope to send you an empty Hevi-13 Mag Blend hull this spring.

Nice job, Ken. Congrats. Will be looking for mine. The next thing you know, you'll have a garage full of bones, shells, cane, bamboo, rifle casings and all kinds of wood! Keep up the good work....      Jim
