Title: Small Frame Diaphragm Turkey Calls
Post by: pickardjw on March 30, 2023, 06:53:59 AM: Any recommendations on small frame diaphragm turkey calls? The Legacy small frame calls are a bit too big and the Woodhaven have a bit too little tape on them, hard to get a seal.

For elk calls, the mini amp's are just about perfect for reference.

Yes don't use crappy scissors.

Just use the elk calls for turkey hunting.

I just looked at them, sorry I didn't realize they had that little piece of metal. Give it a shot and see if they work. :) If not I would just use some really nice sharp scissors and trim the regular calls down until they fit you.
