What would be the best (wood) push pin that is easy to get hands on? I have tons of calls but never had a nice push pin, would love to have one of Shannons but im not on the list and not sure when the list will open back up again. The only push pins I have are very old and I dont use them for nostalgia reasons

A Loftis chatterbox would be a good option that should be available.

X2 here. Also, any of the other "Chatterbox" type push pins sound great. HS Strut walnut push pin is pretty good, along with the earlier Quaker Boy pushpins. Finally, Winky Hicks makes a fine, great sounding PP. His are fairly easy to get.....Winky Hicks: (251)- 231-8086. Good luck....

X3 on the Loftis Chatterbox. I ordered from their website and it arrived in a few days loftiscustomturkeycalls.com

One you won't see here but really is a nice sounding call is a Knight & Hale Tom coffin. Can be found on ebay and at times very cheap. Bought mine for 5.00 I believe plus shipping. Very easy to run.

Mount hollow makes a decent sounding pushpin

thanks for the pictures, I have heard food things about the witchy woman as well but have never seen one for sale

One day maybe I will get on Shannons list, that snakewood is a looker

As you can see forms Shannon's posts, he wants to try and eventually get calls to those very interested in pushpins. Keep checking his posts, you may luck out and get one he throws on for sale. They are definitely worth pursuing for sure, he is a great guy to deal with too.

Nice set of calls.  Saw around 3-4 different push pin calls yesterday at Bass pro. mainly Quaker boy. Maybe an H.S. or 2.
