Batwing

[Mtnstyle]

New to making calls have no prob making combo cuts split v cuts but I can't get get a batwing to sound right mostly not any rasp I can run several commercial bat wings no prob and I can make cut easy too but I guess I don't have right stretch away suggestions

My batwings tend to not sound quite right as well. I have never been a big fan of them anyway though. The combo cut is by far my go to.

The amount of overlap has a lot to do with it.

Personally, I leave a lot of overlap on the top reed for batwings. I tend to cut back on the overlap when I'm making basic V cut calls. Most V cut calls have to much latex hanging out there for my taste. Gets all muddy sounding, which some like. Some guys call that rasp but it is not imo...just mud. Clipping the corners off makes for a much cleaner turkey rasp for me.
But...batwings...more overlap and I like a heavier top reed for backbone...just me.

I run batwings and combo cuts.  This season I'm more on the batwing.

Try pulling a little more back tension then normal and see if that increases your front-end.
