Bill D. Barker Potcall
« on: April 28, 2010, 01:39:41 PM »
I was fortunate enough to win this call on ebay.  It took second place at the Dixie Classic.  The call is glass over slate and is a double sided pot.  I believe the pot is Cypress and the striker Mahagony.  I will contact Bill and get specifics on the call and update this thread at a later date.  Bill was always a boxcall maker and just recently delved into potcalls.  In a short period of time he has mastered these calls too!!  This call is awesome!!!  I highly recommend them!!  *cheers*
The striker design is unique as well.  It's actually a one piece striker with a removable top and the top has a rattle in it.
With the top on the sound is that an older hen and with the top off it is that of a young hen.  Two different pitches with one striker.

Sharp call with a unique striker design. Cool concept. I know Ted Stubbs and Dave Longworth are really high on Bill's calls and he has helped them with their callmaking.

Nice looking pot, but a cool striker design!  Never seen anything like that!
