Phelps Elk Diaphrams
« on: July 07, 2018, 07:42:24 AM »
Can anybody tell me if there is any place in the Seattle to Monroe areas where you can buy Phelps elk diaphrams? I have always used the Bugling Bulls Raging Bull with the Bully Bull grunt tube for bugling and either that or the Mellow Yellow for cow calling. I want to try Phelps diaphrams this season for mainly bugling and Im not a fan of the domed reeds. Anybody have any suggestions on where i can buy them and which diaphrams to try out? Thanks.

I buy mine from elk101.com, great guy I'm happy to support (both Jason and Corey).  I am using the AMP series which has a dome, so I can't steer you other than buy a few, they are about the price of a good beer at a bar - at least that's what I tell myself.

A guy on YouTube has several good series on calls and the differences, Elk Calling Academy and he did a few reviews as well as an interview you might want to check out.

I run the dragon slayer, It doesn't have a dome. Latex is tight so it's really easy to work. Has produced for me. The new BRO series sounds good too but they have domes.

I've played with a couple of different diaphragms and I think the Phelps Amp series domes are not as tall in height as others.  But like everything, i'm sure for others it feels different.

Just bought a few of the amp series. Haven't tried calling anything with them yet but they sound good and are easy to use. :twocents:

Picked up the purple amp today from Lucky Archery shop. Talking with the kid about the calls and and I see it it has Charlies pic on it, and he tells me that it is Charlies personal design, but it's not a beginner call and ask if I have used a diaphragm call before? I looked at hi, and said "how old are you"? He says "23", I looked at hi, and said, "I have been using these calls since you were in diapers"  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Got in the truck, threw it in my mouth and no problem. Grabbed my bugle when I got home have been annoying the wife ever since  :tup:
The leprechaun designed a good call  :brew:  just as the other Phelps calls.

I was in Sportco in Fife the other day and they had his calls. Outdoor Emporium is owned by the same company. I havent been in there but they are in Seattle and might have them.

If you don't want a dome I like the dragon Slayer. Give the amp ( white) a try it's not as big of a dome as you might think and it is awesome.

My go too call was Mellow Yellow by Rockey Jacobson.
I picked up the Primos to try and i liked the hafd case but they turned out to be just crap......

But it looks like my line up is changing to the Phelps AMP series  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Gotta hit sportco today so I'll grab another for my my son, I think it's easy enough for him to learn on  :tup:
