Title: Hey Ricky !
Post by: Old Gobbler on January 21, 2012, 01:47:56 PM
Here is some pictures of the call  I ran for you - and we were talking about - This is one that I will be hunting with this season - its got concave sides , a turned pull pin - and hand shaved peg -  

Solid Cocobolo even the pin and paddle- with a Rosewood soundboard - Cork/Cocobolo/Cork sandwitch stoper-   It has a more mellow resonance to it - its very user friendly

Thank you for the compliments guys - I made a a little demonstration video of that particular call , now most video cameras do a poor job of recording up close so I had to go in my back yard and step back 20 feet to get a better recording of the sound - It is not the highest quality camera , I will try and get some footage out in the turkey woods with a better one soon - I have to point out again , I have achieved my signature dishoveled "look" of a wrinkled flannel shirt . I had to put it on cause the outside  S. Florida temperature dipped below 80 degrees  ;)  

I went and did a yelp about 1 foot from the camera to demonstrate how I yelp on any push pin, and that is  to hold onto the pin and pull the box forward, similar to a pot call you can rest your arm/wrists against your chest or knee sitting {hunting},there is no right way to use a push pin, just what works best for you -  some guys pick up these calls {any push pin call} and push the dowel , and are not satisfied with the yelps because it is similar to using a pot or a box call limp wristed with no pressure - There are guys that make calls , and they can be made to be tuned for pull yelps , I can make them like that for people who prefer that style  _ what I am recommending is that if you are close minded and have wrote off push pins give it try the way I demonstrated - for the record I use a push pin calls 90% of the time and have absolutely no problem bringing gobblers to shoulder each season -

thanks for looking --Shannon

Shannon, it's obvious you have put in some work!  There is a bite on those yelps that I've never heard on a push pin. Awesome stuff. I listened to your others as well. Those black coffins are deadly. You da man!

Those are some nice push pin calls you made shannon,i really like that coco one.I watched your videos and am glad i did.I have never heard a push pin call sound like that.15 years ago i started turkey hunting and the first call i bought was a push pin call (cant recall the brand but it was a production call and was made of some kind of wood(maybe plywood  :lol:) and was camoed) and i hunted 2 years with that thing without calling any gobblers to the gun.So i went out and bought a cane creek mouth mouth call and learned to use it and started killing gobblers from that year forward.Needless to say that push pin call is still in the woods somewhere under neath a bunch of leaves :lol:. That thing sounded horrible and wasnt very loud either.I could get down on that call to try to make it loud and it sounded worse when i did that.That year i threw that call in the woods (which was the last day of season) i havent touched another one and havent heard another one played.Just wasnt interested in hearing or using another one as i thought all of them were the same.Well these videos you posted up showed me that all push pins arent the same.Those sound awsome there.Good job. :you_rock: :icon_thumright:
