Anybody have any experience with the throwback big bore.lookin at the hedge or walnut.im wanting a call that loud real raspy and has bark.been a long time since I had a wood call.

I have severalof his calls(Original, Snubnose, smallbore, and large bore) and like them all. My two personal favorite are his snubnose and small bore. All of his calls have great range and it boils down to your personal calling style in figuring out what you would like the best. If Gary is back up and making calls and you are ordering from him he will take care of you and give some great input. I run a daisy cutter with his CCC calls because they are similar in air presentation needed if that is any help.

Should add that these calls have all that you are looking for.

Thanks I emailed him so just wait in on a reply

I have had all of Gary's calls and my favorites are the Throwback, Snubnose and his Smallbore throwback. And his customer service was always tops

The throwback puts ducks on the water for me. Watching several flocks compete to get into a hole first is something I had never seen until I started using Gary's calls. They work great.

I blow a call and Milo starts looking cuz even he knows they're a comin'.

Is he still in business?

Yes.

awesome just waiting on em to contact me

Yes he has somebody CNC his calls for him now. Just got in a batch not that long ago.

Not sure but I don't think he makes wood calls anymore, except for special circumstances, all he does is acrylic now.

This
Garys putting in huge numbers at his job so he stopped taking orders for his wood calls, with maybe a couple exceptions. He didnt want to have customers waiting months to get calls.
There were threads started regarding his calls that generated a lot of interest so he decided to put out some CNC calls. He tunes the inserts himself

Appreciate it Rick gonna check it out

Notice that little chip out of the insert? If it's chipped like that four times...its mine. I chipped one taking it apart, then used a knife to make three more.
