I've never run one. Why do they call it the "church" call? Because it preaches to those gobblers? Lol

Good thought, John.....
My dear friend from NY gave it the Church call name, because of the holes in the butternut.....He said, the call sounded Holy..... ::)

I have a Burrville Bomber made by Tim Fralik that has served me well since I got it in 2006. Its a Black Limba box with a Walnut paddle. Both sides play well and I can get more than one yelp tone per side. Kee kee ain't bad and I gobble on it also. Nice clucks and cutting too.

Another longbox I like is my Mike Lapp Butternut with Canarywood paddle. Its a special call to me for several reasons. I have owned it since 2011 but its been traveling around to several hunters that have killed birds with it. Got 5 kills on it now. I have the call right now and hope to kill a gobbler with it this spring and send it on to a few more guys later. I am not as familiar with this call as I am my Bomber but it will call them up no doubt. Great sound in her.

Treerooster,
That is a fine pair of calls...... :icon_thumright:
I have a fair number of Paddle calls... Does this "DoDat" from Mr. Mann count?
Nice spalted Sycamore 2006 Limited Edition.. Great sounds from this one..
Dang Andrew! That Mann box is smokin. What is the standard length for the DoDat boxes versus the norm?
My Mann Do Dat is about 1/2 inch shorter than Steve's standard longboxes.

I agree, my Begging Machine is much like a finely tuned instrument. Just a tone of range in it.

Gorgeous calls...
The three are from Mr. Dan Searcy. What a gentleman
Those Searcy calls are very nice!
Thank you. He made them for my son. Birthdays two years in a row
Didn't used to be a paddle call fan. But the more of them I play and accumulate, the better I like 'em !! Don't have many. But here they are:

Here are four of my favorites, 2 from Russell Beard and 2 from Al and Josh.
Scott Basehore is the only longbox I own. Sad, I desperately need more. But this one is a great one. And I remember him being fantastic to order from.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160328/6a0ca0263c574bfb245dbc737dff6fe7.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160328/0d0ba249039ca4eec78aa9f359151e45.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160328/38bfcc369b5812d396f4cead9b9a1007.jpg)

Very nice on all of these! I am looking for one but can't find find one or the ones I find don't please the eye. Nice to see so many different looks! Thanks gents.
I have only 2 Boatpaddle box calls. One is the original Mini-Boatpaddle box call by Quaker Boy, the other is a custom box made by a good buddy Tim Fralick, calls it the "Burrville Bomber". They both still sound awesome to my ears!!

Beautiful call, Tim..... :icon_thumright: Chinaberry at that....Unusual wood.....
Thanks for sharing it, Tim......
Is that the "Fat Lady sings" call ???
That guy behind you wants that call bad.....LOL!
Zumer, I think that Bush paddle call is the one you sent me a number of years ago to run and that surely is one heck of paddle call.

You have a great memory..... ;)
Fine boatpaddles, too..... :icon_thumright:

That was a good one Bob,, Yes Zumer that is me holding the "Fat Lady' what an honor that was...The Chinaberry call from Neil is 1 of 2 he did. The one I have was for Earl Mickel and Neil kept the other...
Tim,
Congrats on your Chinaberry call from Neil.....1 of 2 makes it extra special, I'm sure.. :blob10:
Holding the Fat lady is one of those "how ya like me now", moments..... :icon_thumright:

Got a paddle a few days ago from Jgarrett. Was teaching yesterday at a club deeply wooded. I ran the box to show a girl I mentor how to use them. As I was running the box, (SS Longbox), redheart over poplar the birds started gobbling. It's only Sept but I can't wait to use it. I'm not a giant box call guy but love a certain few. This is one. Props to SS for a great call

Box calls can do a job that other calls just can't. I'm a fan of all calls but on a windy day it's hard to beat the volume a box call can produce. I'll start the hunt with a box, switch to a pot then generally finish with a diaphragm. But, I feel lost without the box. Lots of guys don't like the bulk or the sound associated with carrying a box but I feel naked without one. Looking at these long boxes is making me drool.

:camohat: Never have seen so many paddle calls in one place, a bunch of beauties. The Oesterle paddles, you don't see them everyday. All fine calls, I guess a lot of toms have fell and will fall to these callers.

^^^Exactly. If I don't have a boat paddle with me, I just don't feel right. My calls aren't as fancy or as high dollar as most pictured, but they definitely talk the talk and earn their keep. Thanks for sharing!

This thread deserves another go around...who's got some new boat paddles?
