Playing One Handed

[Greg Massey]

Do you practice playing one handed with your trumpet?   Lets say your calling a gobbler and you have your gun shoulder and partly resting on your knee and you need a few more soft yelps / clucks to close the deal for the shot .... So do you practice at being proficient with your trumpets using one handed call playing?

I play one-handed 95% of the time hunting.

Very interesting ....

I play one handed when working a bird in close to keep movements down. it's good for real quiet stuff.

I play one-handed when necessary. As gembellew said it keeps movement down. I don't find it difficult to play one-handed.

I will call one all the way to the gun with a trumpet. I have had them at 15 yards soft yelping or clicking to break strut.

Yep, if you're hunting them you better be comfortable playing one handed.
That's why even though I'm right handed, I hold the call with my left hand. Right hand is holding my gun resting on my left knee.

I do the same EZ, left-handed when they get close.

I practice and hunt playing one handed a lot, driving around is some of the best practice time to practice 1 hand

left handed felt more natural and that is how I started, I hunt with either hand but left hand still feels more comfortable.

I think though if your right handed holding it in your right hand has an edge of less movement to get back on your gun, as how Mark Prudhomme shows on 1 of his videos

When I first started practicing I did it driving
Kept getting pulled over.

I guess you had SMOKE coming from your tailpipe ....       Or were you PASSING GAS ....

[GregGwaltney]

I have caught people eye-balling me while driving & playing (one-handed), never been puller over though....lol
