The bullet is a 22-250 for size comparison. The closed reeds are distress and tuned for cottaintail or jack rabbit.

Tell me what you think guys

Great work those are some very nice looking calls. I think you will have no problems selling them. If they sound as good as they look.

DDCalls, Those calls are bad to the bone! If I was a coyote, I would be sticking needles in a doll that looked just like you.

DD: Great looking calls there, bud. What kind of lathe are you using?

If they perform as good as they look, no self respecting coyote could possibly resist them! ;)

I really like that African Blackwood. To me, that's the best loking of the bunch. Do you make 'em in any other exotic woods? Maybe a Tiger Maple or something with some other wild or spotted grain?

O.K. how much do you sell them for? Maybe we should move over to the Swap Forum and talk some turkey.
