Halloran Box calls

[Gen.27:3]

Hey guys, I am a big fan of David's pot calls. However, I have never tried his box calls. Do you guys have any experience with his box calls? I am specifically looking at either his Purple Heart and Cedar or the Ebony and Walnut.

I have a purple heart and cedar that fooled a few longbeards.

I use to own 6 different combos.  I think they are really good calls for beginners that aren't use to running a box as the heavy lid makes for easy of running, but they don't have a ton of different turkey in them and are louder calls, as they don't play too soft like the dawkins/Watkins/lapp/Williams.  But at $100-$130 they are a fairly good buy.  I love David's older pots that he came out with like the crystal mistress, twisted sister, cracklin crystal, compared to his new stuff.  Last year at Nashville I ran everything he had at his booth both new pots and the classics and I didn't think the crystal mistresses and twisted sisters he was selling there compared to the older crystal mistress and twisted sister I own...something seemed to be missing in the pot, they didn't have quite the life and pop in them.  Part of me wonders if his new CNC machine he got around two years ago does as good of a job as his old one.

Thanks for the information guys, I really appreciate it. One more question, is there another box call in the same price range and without a waiting list that you would recommend over the Halloran?

Jeff White, or  S.S

If you go with Halloran I'd recommend the purpleheart over cedar, especially if you like a raspy barky yelp.
Otherwise I would reach out to the SS boys and talk to them about yellowheart over limba, persimmon over limba, or kwila over butternut.

Regarding Hallorans boxes, they're good and easy to play. I also agree w SS. Al is a real good man to deal with and his calls are excellent.  Saw McKamey was thrown in. Never had his short boxes but his long boxes are fantastic

I ordered a Bloodwood and Black Limba checkered box from Jeff White. I am also probably going to order a box from twisting creek.

Jeff White was very quick to respond to my questions and very helpful throughout the ordering process. I am excited to give his box a try. But I also want to add one more custom box to my arsenal as well, so keep your suggestions coming. Thanks for your help guys!

I'm waiting on one from Jeff M.  Not sure how long his wait is but it's been about 4 months.

i am very pleased with my Halloran Box like most of his calls they seem tuned to be run loud and aggressive.
