I inquired about one of these about a week ago and got some mixed opinions as I knew I would. I found one and got it in a trade. Call showed up Saturday and I got to put some time in with it. Now , I am a big time custom call guy but as I said before , I have found a few production calls that are better sounding than alot of custom calls. This call did not disappoint. I found it well made and like the pot design. It has a very high front with that noticeable distinguished 2 note yelp. It has a very nice nasally rasp on the backend. It seems to be a little more picky on striker pressure and angle. It runs smooth and effortlessly. The sweet spot seems smaller than many pot calls and its easy to get some unwanted squill on the front if you open up on it but its minor and falls into a very nice sounding yelp. I am a fan of the twisted sister and crystal mistress and I would put it in their class but my sister is hard to beat. I have a Southland yellowheart crystal that is very nice and I believe the vision and Southland are pretty equal. I just wanted to give some of you some feedback on it. I would not hesitate to buy one again and it will see the woods next year.

Hey bud, I'm glad it didn't disappoint you. It wasn't for me (I just didn't care for the sound and have other calls I liked better) - thanks for the trade, sir.

I actually got one last hunt in tuesday and used the call. Called up a hen to about 20 yards and had her hang around for about 10 minutes. Turkey season is done . Not a gobble other than a few in the tree over the last week. They gobble at each other a little and meet up and not another peep.

The aluminum is a great call as well. Slick anodized surface was my only complaint.
Don't hesitate to pick one up if you have the opportunity.

I have both the crystal vision and aluminum. Both calls have high front end in them plus a good break on the end. Had a vision crystal in my hand at a cabelas one day, it just didn't have the high front end and the rollover that I like. I guess it best if you can play them first. Good luck with yours, I enjoy playing mine.

Everybody calls them a big mass production company. I'am surprised when there's more than 3-4 trucks in the parking lot. The vision I have is one of Neil Herman hand selected that he used in competitions back when he worked for Woodhaven.

I have one of Neil's glass over glass in a Wenge pot.

No problem. I picked mine up off turkey call collectors group on facebook. He listed and I bought.
