Scott, finger placement and pressure can't be stressed enough when running friction calls. They are similar to playing a guitar, how and when you place your fingers dictate the sound.
People are always saying that you need to carry a sack full of strikers to achieve multiple hen "voices", I say the opposite. Take a couple of really good strikers and with a good call and the right stroke and finger placement you can sound like dozens of different turkeys.

Glad you liked them, will be trying to think of something else to share about calling with a youtube video.

I like to carry 4 strikers, 2 good woods, a carbon, and an acrylic.

What we need are vids on how to condition calls correctly. I've heard a lot of new hunters asking how too, and a few old time callers that don't know all the right ways and whys to condition a call. If your calls aren't conditioned right it doesn't make a differance how good of a caller you are, it won't sound right

Thanks, you just gave me a good idea! All The surface prep is important and there are so many types of surfaces and tools to condition them with, good and bad.

There will be a conditioning vid coming out soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tips for sure. Your Cackle wa awesome. How about a video with a little more cutting. And maybe one on how you do fightings purrs. I use two strikers with one in each hand and the pot is between my legs. I can play my pots left or right handed which was very hard too learn. Tell us a little more about your crystal pot call that you used for the yelping and cutting. Thanks for sharing, Mike

Mike, the Crystal Call that I was using is called a Vision Crystal by Woodhaven.

That particular call has a funny story behind it, Last January a gentelman called the Woodhaven shop and ordered a call, they played several of these calls over the phone and he picked one. He recieved it in the mail, tried it out and DID NOT LIKE IT, he called back to the shop and said this is not the call that I picked. They said send it back and we will swap it out for another,and that is what they did.

About a week later, I was at the shop trying out some new calls, when I saw a call laying in the junk pile, I picked it up and it was the best call I had run in a long time. I asked, What in the world is wrong with this cal? That is when they told me the story behind the call. I told them then, I will win the Grand National Calling contest next month with this call, and that it what I did. I laugh every time I pick that call up.

Mike, I am going to do another on how to condition calls properly and will most definately do one on cutting. Doubt I do one on the fighting purr. Will have some with mouth calling in the next year.
