Best Diaphram Mouth Call for Beginner

[clfergus]

I have a couple of old calls I got free with a buck knife and I bought a primos sonic dome call. I have been practicing a little and seem to be struggling with the sonic dome. The flatter calls seem to produce more of a yelp for me.

Just curious.... I see all kinds of names, slits in the calls. Just curious is there is a brand and then the name/slits of the call that is easier for a beginner.

I believe a double reed call with no cuts is a great beginner call. Seems like Quaker Boy makes one called the Beginners Double, but any will do. Throw the sonic dome in the trash.

Order a few different cuts from Hooks custom calls, they are cheap, excellent quality and really easy to blow. in general start on 2 reed calls before going for 3 and 4 reed versions as they will be easier to blow. Hooks make some 2.5 reeds that blow super easy as well. If you call instead of order online they will help get you pointed in the right direction.

Another personal favorite is call Lyle with Houndstooth

For me the no cut versions never made any good turkey sounds while I was trying to learn and I did much better with 2 reed V cut to start.

2nd this.

Hooks make an orange call, I think its the Persuader, it is pretty easy to run.

Agree on the 2 reed V cut. And hooks are easy to run.
I consider myself fair with a mouth call and a buddy got a couple of those sonic domes on clearance and gave me one. Hardest call I've ever ran..Toss it and move on.

I had the same experience...  I will not be winning any calling contests, but I can make the basic turkey sounds with almost any mouth call...  I could make that dome call run, but it was certainly a struggle...  I pitched mine in the trash almost immediately.

I would also agree with Spring Creek Calls and/or TauntoHawk that a straight double-reed or a V-cut double would be easy calls to learn on...

Ordered a classic hen and bacon call from Gooserbat today. Thinking about trying the Hooks calls as well.
