Point blank elk calls.
«

September 18, 2012, 09:26:22 PM »
Last week I was helping with a elk hunt and could not find my reed calls. I stopped at the store and saw these calls designed by Joel Turner. I am not sure if I got a bad one or not but I did not like the call at all. It was flimsy and to high pitched and I could not get a consistant sound. Did I get a bad one ? anyone with experience with this call

They are junk
I bought 3 of them and all of them were crap. I have talked to more then a few people about it. Bad latex and the calls sound like crap when put next to my others. Had a hard time keeping the same notes.

He is an amazing caller so I really expected the calls to atleast be decent, But I could not get any sounds out of them that sounded like an Elk.

Kinda my thoughts as well. No need to let him know about it. Thousands of people voice ideas and thoughts about gear online. No matter if it a member or not. It's o.k for people to say they did not like something.

I thought it was just me, glad to hear I wasn't the only one who didn't like them. I bought a few of them and never could do well with them. I will stick with my Bugling Bull reeds.

Pretty sad when 4/4 people that have posted so far have had bad things to say. Hope they do see this and start taking notes and asking questions.

Maybe it's the people blowing on the calls that suck!

Could be the case but I bet atleast one of the 4 of us has called in a few elk before
So I won't buy into that one to much. I am no great caller like I have said many many times. I can call elk and know when something sounds off. When I can grab one of my other 10+ mouth calls and make them sound good. I know it has to be the call

I used to at least be able to make good cow elk sounds. But that was 15 to 20 years ago. I kind of quit practicing and quit using elk calls because I wasn't hunting them during the rut anymore. Now I need to get practiced up again, and really need to purchase some new calls. I'm thinking I should pick up one of these Point Blank calls to start out with. That way if it doesn't sound right, I can just blame it on the call!

I know he sounds good "most of the time" when using them. Maybe we are not good enough for the calls. I had to lisen to them for 5 days strait last year 2 booths down from mine, same row
There was a few funny notes that made me laugh

Maybe you guys should ask the elk what they think.
