If you're running out of breath fast, you're going about it all wrong. You need to be bringing the air from deeper. Notice the name, diaphragm call. That's where the air comes from. Besides that, you can find some of Scott's stuff on YouTube. I've got calls that I move from one place to another in my mouth. Anything made by Zink I've had to run on the left side of my mouth. Everyone's pallet is different and based on how the tape is cut for the call, it can change where it lies in the mouth to get the desired sound. I've got a Hillbilly from gosserbat. For that call I had to lighten up on the tongue pressure and run it slightly farther forward than my others. It sounds good and will certainly kill birds. It's just what I had to do to get what I felt was the best sound from that call for me. Other guys will not experience this. Good luck with it man.
