A friend who only has a Roberts Bros. slate and glass call and a store bought box call told me today he wants to buy a good quality custom box call and a good quality custom pot call to start his collection and, also, to use this spring. He asked my recommendation and I thought it would make an interesting forum question. What would your first recommendation be for each type of call? Remember, readily available for the season that starts in 6 weeks. PS Let's make it your first two recommendations for each type.
Box Call - David Halloran
Pot Call - Perfection Calls Screamin Demon
try Midwest turkey call supply, they have a a lot of big name calls, both box and pot calls.
Okay, I would order a Jeff White Box from him on this site. He has short turn around, and makes great calls for a really good price (for now). Message him and see what he can make short term. As an up and comer it just seems he cares more about making customers happy by giving them great calls. High quality box calls get over priced when the maker gets real famous..get one from him before it happens. As far as a pot call, I would send a messsage to Mark Cornelius (MAC Calls) on here as well and try to get a green slate over glass if he can get it done before the season. He just makes great calls and cleans up on awards to prove it, and is low priced for a true custom call that is second to very few or maybe none.
What's wrong with ROBERTS Bros call? They are one of the better ones you can get.

Nothing wrong with Roberts Bros.. They're great. He just wants to start buying some new ones to try and, also, to collect. Let's help him stimulate the economy! It's fun to have a selection of calls each day.
Sounds like he kind of wants the thrill of ordering something new,,,if not why not grab both off the Swapboards,,there are Albert Paul's,Hallorans,Kaisers,Roberts,etc on there right now and you know you will have them in a few days for sure.
Christopher Brumfiel or S S Custom calls for the box and Chris Brumfiel, David Hallorans , Jim Shelley and Mark Cornelius for the pot call...
Since he needs something now I would call AL at SS Custom calls. He could one stop shop there.
Box/Jeff White or Albert Paul
Pot/David Halloran or Lonzo or Jimmy Schaffer

Box is no question an SS. Pots depends on the surface but Schafer, SS, Halloran has some in Midwest turkey supply, idk how quick MAC is right now but he's normally quick. It's not all about speed but I'm sure these are good ones
Box - SS Butternut over kwila, also van cisr bloodwood
Pot - yingling copper with a cherry striker
WOW! Thank you. That's enough to keep my friend busy for a couple years! I sent him all the recommendations tonite.
S&S Calls!! Al and Josh will fix your up!
Ss Custom calls make some great sounding box calls
Sticking to call makers that you can generally get things in just a few weeks.
I couldn't recommend anyone more then SS customs or David Halloran.

I am not a box call guy, but I carry a short and long box by Spring Creek. I use Woodhaven and Cabelas diaphragm calls and a Mother's Lode glass by Koe Slaton and a Double Suicide by Steve Reeves. Just my favorites. Al Baker

Thanks Greg.
Your going to have a really hard time getting anything from MAC before season. There are a lot of other good calls mentioned though.

Not to toot my own horn but give the Gooserbat High Standard line a look.
Can't go wrong with any David Holloran pot call or box calls

That's what he decided and bought one of each from Dave H.. Thanks for all the advice. I might try some of the other suggested call makers.
Tell him to cowboy up and buy a Clint Corder Pot call and Neil Cost box call. :funnyturkey:
