The combination of its slate surface texture, walnut pot, and hand-matched hickory striker gives you the ability to easily create precise, varied sounds, including soft purrs and clucks for close-range hunting up to loud yelps for longer distances. Condition the striking surface as needed using the included scouring pad to get your preferred sounds. See technique tips below. Specifications Call type: Pot call Surface: Slate Pot material: Walnut Striker material: Hickory Includes scouring pad Handmade in the U.S.A. TECHNIQUE For the best results: Make sure the call is appropriately conditioned with the included scouring pad. Hold the call away from your body; cup it between your index finger and thumb. Hold the striker like a pencil at a 70-degree angle to call; rest your other fingers solidly against the call. Apply light pressure from the striker when calling. For the most consistent pitches and tone, use the upper third of the call. The center of the call produces deeper tones. Cackle: Move striker in straight, quick, A 1/4" lines, 7 to 10 times. Cluck: Move striker very quickly in straight, A 1/4" lines using popping motion. Cut: Move striker very quickly in straight, A 1/4" lines with broken rhythm (ex. 3 notes, 2 notes, 4 notes). Purr: Slowly slide striker in a straight, 1" line across surface. Hold striker higher for more consistent sound. Use scouring pad to create additional friction as needed. Yelp: Move striker in a short oval or circular motion in A 1/2" lines, producing a two-tone yelp, 5 to 7 times in each sequence.
