SS Custom calls. Al will hook you up. Albert Paul and Frank Kruer also make some good ones.

SS boys are super nice and can flat out build a call, same about Frank Kruer plus he has been tearing it up at the nationals. Makes me want to call tomorrow and put in another order and if you like copper pots calls he builds a great one.

As others have said "SS" calls, I have 4 and all are great. Another builder I recommend and have a few calls from is Albert Paul, never played a bad one from him either.

I've never played one of his box calls, but if they are anything like his pot calls they should be well above average. Come to think of it, I'll be playing one of his boxes sometime today.

Sure we like his calls, but why put all the same eggs in one basket. Jeff McKamey out of Chattanooga TN is another you can't beat " Twisting Creek Calls"  Super nice guy.

Jeff McKamey makes a killer box for a heck of a deal imo, Twisting Creek Calls, he sent me one and it's phenomenal.

 :drool: Lots of GREAT options!  Spring Creek TC makes some fine sounding long boxes and SS is in a class of its own..  I have a Birdseye over Purpleheart double sided combination with your name on it.  PM me your information, and I would love to shoot the box over to you and see how it compares to the Holloran... On us.  Take care and happy hunting!  Spread the passion!
