I tried to post a picture and keep getting an error for failed security check. Ive never had that problem before and i sized it down as small as possible only 50kb

All three calls are from gobblers. One is smoothed with jb weld the other two are poorly thread wrapped. They were also stained to try and knock the white from bleaching down. All three have epoxy in the mouth piece. Still have the bone to make the 2 piece into a three piece but wanet to experiment.

Looking good, nice joint transition on the green 3 piece

Nice!!!
The little three bone "looks" like it would play pretty good. I would have left a little more length on the bell. Sometimes, if they're too short you don't get a good roll-over.

It's fun experimenting.

Thanks for the advice. Im going to keep playing with them may keep changing them as i go.

Made a couple more wingbones over winter and have taken a liking to this one.

Some how I have missed this post for a good while after our initial interaction. Of your previous three listed sound files, I liked the third sound file with the short three piece best. As to your latest call, your work has come a long way and looking great. I would be glad to take your latest call to the woods and get some blood on it.

Let me say something to encourage you. One, mastering a wingbone to the point of being really good is a two to five year deal for most people. Second, and even more important - it is rare to see a fellow yelp better than he clucks right out of the gate. In this case, that appears to be you from your sound files. I personally think that being the case says that you have the longterm ability to be really good.

Practice EVERY DAY for about 5-10 minutes (shorter sessions tend to be more helpful) between now and the 2025 season and I think you will be ready to kill turkeys with nothing but your bones by April of 2025. You are closer than you think even though you still have some kinks to work out.

Thanks for sharing your calls and sound files - wish more would share that same journey with making and mastering calls on here.
