Rise Together Custom Calls

Polyester Resin Duck Call

Acrylic Short Reed Goose Call

I met my friend JC from the goose club this season. JC is a master craftsmen, and has started making custom calls in his shop. Check out his site @ http://www.risetogethercustomcalls.com/DuckCalls.html

Sarah got me one of his goose calls for my birthday and JC and I have been working on it together for about the last month. JC has been very generous with me by trying multiple shapes, barrel lengths, gutserts, soundboards, reeds, etc.. until we finally perfected it this afternoon.

JC gave me the above duck call in return for tuning a bunch of double reed calls for him. This picture does not really do it justice but JC has really stumbled upon something unique with these resin calls. The material is very dense which makes for a great sound and the appearance of these calls is amazing.

I have learned a ton about making calls and am fired up to start making my own. Thanks JC!
