Which is better... Echo or RNT? Single or Double Reed?

[grnhead1]

i would def. like to get one of the calls if yall made another batch.. thanks for the feedback.. i might just get an RNT and an echo timber cause the poly echo timber aint expensive.. Where would i find Drake Brake calls that some of yall were talkin bout?

[grnhead1]

another thing.. anybody with RNT calls which one do you like the best?

[Greenhead22]

I've got a drake brake and like it alot. Send marionfd708 a pm. Kev is good friends with Greg Brinkley, callmaker of Drake Brake calls.

As for rnt's, I would recommend the short barrel or daisy cutter. The DC will have a little more volume

SHORT BARREL IN WOOD OR ACRYLIC THEY HAVE A AWSOME BOTTOM ENT DUCK AS FOR ECHO TRY THE TIMBER OR THE XLT



RNT IT'S WHAT WE DO

[champcaller]

my favorite RNT is either a short barrel or a timbre.... it just depends on what day you ask me

[grnhead1]

how much harder are single reeds than double.. and do yall believe you can do more with a single reed?

[Greenhead22]

Single reeds are far more versatile than double reeds. Most double reeds already have the "duck" built into them, all you have to do is put air into the call. Where as with a single reed, you've gotta know what you are doing to make the call sound right. A single reed takes practice, practice, practice. Your types of sounds and tones are more widely available with a single reed, especially when it comes to feed chatter type stuff.

I would start off with the $25 echo poly timber or Zink's Power Hen polycarb. Both are single reeds and good calls for the money.

It took me 8 yrs to learn how to blow a single reed call. I was stuck on haydels for years and couldn't get myself out of the double reed funk. I've still got my old haydel's and can still make them sound good today, but I've changed my calling technique to where I'm geared up for single reeds, and it throws me off a little bit at first.

appreciate it Greenhead

if you want to do fancy stuff...get a single reed....will it call more ducks....hell if I know, but I doubt it...calling is about reading the birds, not hitting notes....

for RNT's I've got two of the Timbre calls, a Daisy Cutter, and an Original, I like the original pretty well, the Timbre's are easy to blow, and if you know what you're doing the Daisy Cutter sounds good (but it's a bit harder to blow, there seems to be less back pressure).....

I've got an Echo Open Water, and Echo XLT and an Echo Timber....the Timber is the easiest to get to sound right, the XLT is a little louder, and the Open Water is great for loud calling but you have to know what you're doing....

the RNT Original and the Echo Open water spend the most time on my lanyard, I have some pretty ducky calls I made that sit right next to 'em, then I usually rotate between the RNT Timbre and the Daisy Cutter, depending how I feel that morning.....

[grnhead1]

i think im mostly leaning towards the RNT original or short barrel.. but i got to find a place that will let me blow the calls cause you never know if you will like em..

[grnhead1]

and does every call need to be hand tuned?

[marionfd708]

it just depends on you. try rnt and echo. i prefer rnt but thats just me.

champ, i see i am gonna have to convert you like i did gh22. .



gordon, we need to get together and set up a swap,,,,you remember

[GordonGekko]

I remember, we are flat out of calls at the moment, should be running the next batch the week of the fourth....

[Po Monkey Lounger]

hunt where the ducks really want to be, and you don't even need a call

That is the truth........
