Title: Turkey Call Amplifier
Post by: TRKYHTR on February 17, 2012, 12:01:20 PM
Here is a video clip of a product I am making now. Thanks to Mark Cunningham for his idea of this product. I think it works great. You be the judge. Scot Wilhelm used this amplifier to win the GNCC gobbling contest.

Buy one of Daryl's copper pots and no amplifier will be needed. Just kidding, it looks like a pretty cool idea. Good luck with it.

 *lol* Your right. I have told a lot of people the copper call will save them money in the long run, they won't ever need to buy a long box.... *lol*

I was so impressed, I traded the man a Box call then and there. Can't wait to try this out on Jeff's turkeys up the road. *peep*

So how much difference you noticed on sound with this? 

I cannot play a mouth call at all, but this seems very interested!!!

Great job!

I just don't see why you would need it.

If you can't use a mouth call this want help you, Porter..

I just don't see why you would need it.

Something different in the vest. But hey what do I know, may not do a darn thing...

Yeah I wish I could.  This should alter the sound waves and let you manipulate how/where you direct the toward.  Just showed my physicist friend and he was going crazy talking about terms I did not understand.

They make the call VERY directional. Could work. Also amplifies the sound a little.

That's what I was thinking...  Maybe Daryl needs one to amplify his voice  *lol* *lol* 

Think you could build one to amplify Daryl's looks  *peep*

I just wish I could use a mouth call.  You make it seem so easy...  me.. the mouth call ends up about 40 yards from me... gagging on them  *cry*

Been using a piece of black 2 in o.d. tube myself. Got the idea from using an elk bugle in NM., 20 years ago. It works!

Noel Gonzales has been making something similiar to this for quite sometime I believe.
