Fri, 11 Feb 2011 17:10:51 +0000 http://shortreedgoosecalls.com/blog/?p=50#comment-6228 Although I agree somewhat with the previous comment, I would advise that you first pick what kind of duck call you want to use (either single or double) and then train yourself with that, as playing a double and a single are two different worlds. I was raised playing a double-reed and it is totally different game when I try to play singles. They require more gut and more finesse than doubles since you don't have that second reed to back you up. Also, I would recommend that you start with something simple and low-cost, then start playing the more expensive ones as you get better and better. I started off with a Haydel DR85 and two-3 years later I got a Zink XR2 and they are different worlds. The higher-end calls blow differently and are meant for folks that are already there, whereas the lower end ones are more for beginners (or folks who want to save). I am a firm believer that higher-end calls sound better than cheapos. But the truth is this: every hunter has their own style and methods, and they all work. This is just what I have found and suggest.
