Looking to add a long box to collection. Any recommendations, suggestions for call maker and wood combo's ? Thanks....

Al Shoemaker you cannot go wrong but I would also add Jeff McKamey of Twisting Creek Game Calls. My Kwila/Butternut is top notch.

In addition to the names above....

Tim Bullock
Russell Beard, bloodwood over walnut
Ed Terefencko, anything he makes (long wait list but well worth it)

If you are really serious about a long box but don't have much experience with one you may consider picking up a used one on this site.  There are some great deals to come along if you keep your eyes open.

Another name to add to the mix is Ernie Fetters. Have 4 combos from him and all are outstanding.

I'll add Ralph Snodgrass (Lightning Strike) and Billy Bush to the list.
they put more than several turkeys in their calls.

SS makes great boxes, Jeff McKameys are pretty good too. Both great companies to deal with as well

Strongly  :agreed:
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

I strongly agree with this too. Both make awesome long boxes.

I have a Bloodwood over Limba from Al and Josh at SS. It's sounds awesome and is easy to run. Super Kee Kees!

I have a bloodwood/butternut from Jeff Mckamey that is my favorite long box.

I have that box and it's very good. Lots of fellows say it's a favorite. I like his bloodwood/mineral poplar better and a friend had similar results. Both very good calls and everyone likes dif things in a call
