Here is my Darrin Dawkins stoned aluminum in a Walnut pot call. I am running it with one of Darrin's strikers and a corian tipped, carbon shaft, Osage head striker. You guys know I have a few pot calls. If I were hunting tomorrow this would be the first call out of my vest in the morning. About the best compliment I can pay a call. It has THE SOUND.

Rickey, I can't wait to hunt with my plastic stoned aluminum call, who makes the striker on the left? Scoot
Scoot---That striker was made by Jesse Newsome. I bought a few strikers from him a couple years ago. I have learned that he has passed away. He was a super guy and fine callmaker. He won the trumpet division at Nationals a few years ago.
I have the same setup and its top notch. Nice call
It don't get any better than a Dawkins pot IMO. My stoned aluminum and slate will be 2 of the 3 calls I carry opening day, which says a lot considering a rely heavily on pot calls and I own numerous custom pots.
Another killer Rickey. Darrin is a great guy and makes great turkey calls.
Another fine one from a super nice guy!
as good as they get
My stoned aluminum will be riding in my vest opening day as well!
Mine will definitely get some work in on opening day :drool:
Great another call to think about adding to my long wish list. Problem is wish list is larger than bank account. Congrats on being happy with the sound.
call coach K he can float ya some money
What type of striker is that on the right?
The striker on the right was made by Darrin. Since the pic was taken I have started running the call with a Bill Lyman grey dymondwood striker that is just plain bad. That combo should be outlawed. I have been hunting a Dawkins Walnut aluminum pot call for a few years that I took the anodized finish off of with sandpaper. It has called in several gobblers. The stoned aluminum has a very similar sound to that call.
That is a nice striker by Darrin :toothy9:
I've got a Dawkins aluminum that runs perfectly. Thing is awesome. A few friends have the stoned aluminum in the plastic pot. That call also sounds great n runs very easily. I'm no fan of plastic pots yet that call Id own. Love to hear it in the wood pot
Sweet pot!!
Love the plastic stoned aluminum; the best aluminum I have had yet and I have had somewhere around 20 custom aluminum pots.
Love those strikers!
