James "Winky" Hicks from GroveHill, Alabama makes the best push button hands down not even close.  He is the DD Adams of good sounding pushbutton calls.

The man can keekee with one!!!

Shannon does build a killer push pin for sure.

If you are looking for a really good production push pin call, I have one of these in my pack.  Great sounding call.

I could write a book on push pins , construction and methods of use - I've used them all , but never a winkey hicks , but I hear he makes a good sounding call and is very , very nice man I would consider his a handmade custom call and very desirable to own and or collect - winkey makes his pushpins with a special soundboard , and avoids the commonly used 3 ply that the big manufactures use - another reason to go out and get one of his calls

I have different layup for my soundboards , it's a 2 ply , one wood is a ebony , the other is undisclosed .... I lay mine up by hand and it was very time consuming to learn the winning process and technique to clamping it under 5,000 pounds of pressure until it's cured - the soundboard is the bottom part of the call where the screw goes through

There are only a handful of people making pushpins , unfortunately the design hasn't garnered any serious widespread acclaim like other calls , due in part to the very people who mass produce them , as a " beginners call"  ......beginning to call in a lot of gobblers ....is what it should be called
