Title: Box call tuning help
Post by: PA-strutter on February 04, 2021, 07:55:45 AM
I'm having trouble getting a sound out of my box calls that I've been making and I think it's coming down to tuning and sound board wisdom. Can anyone share their wisdom with me or point me in the direction when I can find something on the topic. I'm coming up empty. Thanks in advance.

Western side of the state.

How'd the tuning go for your box call?

I'm on the Eastern side, about 20 miles south of Scranton.

I kept turning the screw a 1/8 turn until it was sounding hot. She's definitely a keeper.
