Yes Sir the call was stabilized a friend sent it to me to try out. Mark, I like the short yelper but if you have big hands like mine. The longer call feels a little better. You don't feel like your elbows are to close in on your chest. The shorter one sound great an really good for a 1 handed call for close in work. If I get some more Hen bones I may try one out of Desert Ironwood. I needed to see how this length was going to sound so I built one to see if I like it or not.
