ElkNut1 can we assume these are all made in america?  I know phelps game calls are And is why I really like and support his calls. If yours are I'd be more than happy to try a few.

The reeds we carry at present are from Bugling Bull game calls, they are not made by us, is this what you are asking? Thanks!

What about the new bugle tube? 

[gotcha]

Is it made in the good ol usa.

I hired a company out of WA there to produce the Bugles, the company is having them made overseas. I'm OK with that as all of the bugles you are familiar with are made overseas. Some may surprise you. They have the facilities there to do things that companies in the states cannot do. For instance, I wanted this bugle to be all one piece, I checked all over & no one here could do it, they all said it needed to be a two piece bugle. This company in WA said they had an outfit that could do it & I was happy they found them, this bugle will have no weak spots!

  p.s. nearly all baseball type bats used for bugles are made overseas. I don't know anyone that is the exception. Companies here in the states sell bugles yes, but they are purchased overseas first!

  Here it is in its raw state, I received this today! Not sure about it yet?

Don't want to hi-jack the thread but Phelps Game Calls' bugle tubes are 100% made and manufactured in the U.S.A. by a family owned business.  They even go as far as sourcing the plastic here in the U.S.A.  The lanyards are manufactured in the states, covers are cut in our shop, logos printed by a family friend and sewn by my Grandma 

Paul, I know U.S.A. manufacturers can build and inject any tube design...It's just the higher cost for tooling that sends people overseas (my tube design is 14 times more expensive here in the states).  I've wanted to go to production but I guess I'm just too proud to have it built overseas.

I go out of my way to buy American as much as I can... I don't buy KUIU anymore, because of it all being made overseas...

Good to know that all your products are built and materials are sourced right here in the good ol' US of A Jason

[Elknut1]

Jason, can you be more specific in this comment you made! Are your bugles made for you by injection mold or blow mold or are you purchasing plastic ball bats & modifying them? I'm not sure I understand? Thanks.
