Title: I did do some good at the Nationals afterall...pappy
Post by: pappy on February 28, 2014, 11:40:12 PM
This is an email I received from Charley Burke  an  NWTF Regional Field Supervisor and Grand National Contest organizer...
"Hi Jack, The tongue calls were judged and the top two were Mike Lapp and yourself.  The judges gave the Lapp call a 1st and yours a 2nd. They evaluated the calls and I did not keep the results as this was an add on responsibility for the judges in this category.  In the future we may add a separate tongue call category for 2015.  Thank you for your support of the competition. I did not take any pictures other than the 1st place call. Charley"

Congrats Pappy.  I agree, those calls should have their own catagory.  I did run them and was very impressed by the sound that I could get out of them.  Bad thing is that they didn't have them all together as a group.  They were spread throughout the "Other surface" pot calls.  They are a very huntable call for sure.

I had talked to Charley about Mr. Huffman's ability to see into the future with this style of call, a poor man's slate....when he sold them for 12.95 I am sure some folks jumped on them...but from what I was told they had a range that started way too high, that is why i wanted an old school sound out of mine. I wanted an old Lynch box sound, and that is what I was working for. I am certain that things will change as far as a separate category for these calls, to see them spread out all over the place is really not a pleasing sight to see, but again I look at the organizers who take and place the calls. I just wish I could have been there to listen to Mike's call and to see how I could have improved on mine. Thanks for all the kind words....pappy

If enough call makers enter them they will have to make a seperate catagory.  Keep making sawdust my friend.  Give them a reason to do it.
