Open Reed Production Style Calls For Sale!
These calls are each hand made, by Me, in a production line style. Built for practical performance.
Hand turned and belled schedule 40 PVC bodies, hand primed and painted camoflage.
They're seated with the molded, hand tuned, RainShadow L-O-U-D Toneboards. Super control with absolutely ear splitting capabilities.

2 sizes, distress units started with a 2" piece of stock, and the mini-howler units started with a 3" piece before the belling and tapering the necks.
The mini-howlers have a stiffer howling reed and vocalize like the dickens, but also do excellent distress. The distress units have a thinner raspy reed, but still do excellent pup and female coyote howls.

Both models $12 each, plus actual estimated first class shipping. (Limited Quantity available. The top photo is the whole batch except for the 2 on my lanyard!!)
I'm pretty proud of these.
I really like this toneboard, but it might not get another run. We'll see. It's how I want it, which makes it really hard for Loren to mold! But I got these, and man to they scream!
And I spent a long time figuring out how to make a quick and easy belled body from a lightweight and durable material. Finally, I'm at least on the right road!
Thanks guys!

The belling of pipe was a personal challenge. Whether I used these boards for it or not. I figured it out.

We got set up and I turned the Scorpion on real low with a baby cottontail sound then let out some gawd awful distress with my new Rainshadow open reed. Within seconds I saw what I though was a bobcat coming from over 300 yards so I get out my camera and turn it on. Then I see another one following it down the old logging trail. I raise my rifle and look through the scope to see a couple of young yotes. There were at least two and maybe three that came from the bottom of the canyon but stopped just under 300 yards away. I took a few shots and hit one but after hiking my butt down there I could not find hide nor hair of it.
Anyway, the call sounds great and I love the small tone board.
