Its called a pot call. I just have a striker that will purr good on the call and that works fine. If you can purr good on a mouth diaphragm (I can't) that will work too.You don't need a push-pin or the 2 push-pin calls, that was just a marketing gimmick. You don't need to go through all kinds of gyrations trying to use 2 strikers on a pot call either. Just 1 striker and purr aggressive on the pot call, throw in some sharp cutts too or maybe cut on your mouth call. I make a sharp "V" on the call but a straight line would work too I am sure. I have used slate, glass and a Kenny Morgan like Frictionwood type call, all have worked. Nobody told me just 1 striker on a pot call would work...the turkeys did.Like was said it is situational, but the fight purr call can work quite well at times. I've called gobblers back, away from hens, and called in another after I shot his buddy.I have used pots that way as well and they do work. I would like to find something hands free but am not that good at purring with a mouth call myself though I am improving. Let me rephrase part of that, I do not mean hands free, I like having it on the gun so that I can just pull the string if I have something up close. I have never been in that situation but would like that ability in case I ever am. I have never done a purr using a V motion, I will pull out some calls and drive the GF nuts when I get back from physical therapy. If you want to have more of a 2-tone you can try calling on 2 slightly different areas of the pot. A pot call has a higher pitch towards the edge and a lower pitch towards the middle. You can make one purr start closer to the edge and end less in the middle while the other starts a tad further from the edge and ends more in the middle. But like I said I don't think 2 tones are all that important to the turkeys. Cadences is more important. Its not purr...purr...purr, its purrpurrpurrpurr Also don't worry too much if you squeak a little when making the call, turkeys will squeak or whine (whatever you call it) when fight purring. Just call right through it. Duration of the fight purr varies too. You can call for 15 or 20 seconds and then get on the gun. If the gobbler doesn't show then get back on the call. That is very natural in the way some turkey fights pan out. But there always is the chance the gobbler will come in pretty fast too.

As I get older, it is getting tougher, as there is the driving/safety factor to contend with, and each year, I have to make her glasses/contact lenses a bit more "blurred."
