Title: Push button call
Post by: NEKVT on April 27, 2012, 08:10:38 AM
I have a cheap Pushbutton call.... I can cluck with it decently, but i dont think a purr sounds right.
Do people have decent success with these things? I have looked at box calls but where i have been looking they seem pretty pricy. I am going to another place today to look at some box calls. Any good suggestions? Please keep in mind i am a beginner and know vary little about calls and calling.
The one I have is very similar to this one.

Shannon, the founder and Admin of this site, makes some high end units and posted some video using his in the video/audio subforum.  Look those up.  His calls and technique sound the best I've heard.

Generally, other calls sound more like turkeys to my ear.  Does that determine what a gobbler will respond to?  Not necessarily.

If you use the correct method for calling you can  improve the sound of most push pins  , hold the pin and pull the box forward for yelps , finger pressure on paddle for louder clucks

I have a few demonstration links , here is one -- 

look at the way I handle and operate the call and try that with yours , hopes this helps---Shannon
