Here is a good article from few years back about Darrin and a few other noteworthy South Carolina call makers. Good read if you have a few minutes.

Just got a one-piece purpleheart striker from Halloran that sounds awesome on my Dawkins aluminum. Halloran's strikers seems to grip the aluminum the best.

Can't hide money hahah. All this talk really makes me want to call him but I am doing my very best to not dial the phone


Proverbs 3:5

Sent from my phone using Technology

I know the feeling! It's taking all I have not to call...

I see a problem. He had 2 and has sold 3 on this thread. YIKES!

When I called yesterday he had 3 left. He played all 3 over the phone and let me pick my favorite. Should be 2 available now?

Great he told me he had 2 walnut ones left when I called last Thursday so I mailed my check Friday. Shoulda overnighted it. Lol! Hope we all get one.

I have no doubt that he is a man of his word. I'm sure ours are reserved. :smash:

Last I talked to Lon, if I remember correctly, he said his anodized call does not have to be roughed up.

Lon gave me a square of cue chalk to use on the striker tip. The striker want grip the surface if chalk isnt used.

My check cashed so I am guessing I have a call on the way.

I can promise you do. Darrin is a top notch guy all the way around.

 

[muddyboots]

Got mine. Hype is well deserved.

 

[Andy S.]

Got mine. Hype is well deserved.

I'm sure glad we think alike.

 

[Spurhunter]

Called Darrin last night to make sure he got my check. Said he got my check and sent my call out and I should get it today or tomorrow. Super nice guy. I can't wait.

I may have to get a slate if its on par with the aluminum.

Sooner, the better. Get the $50 plastic slate and thank me later.

I love my slate, it's a very "tight" call and you won't be disappointed. It's sort of a toss up though, I have an old Cody World Class (not the walmart junk), but the high end one and it's really really good as well.

What's so good about his slate?

What's so good about his slate?

I wish I could interview dead turkeys and tell you. In all seriousness, I can do as much with it as I can his aluminum. The two I take to the woods (Dawkins Slate and Dawkins Aluminum) sound similar in a lot of ways TO MY EARS. With the slate, I can really get low, be assured it'll never slip/goof and still have some "pop" to coerce them to commit when they are under 60. From my readings on here over the years, I take it that I am not as good, nor as confident (more important) as many of you are with the super soft "diaphragm" calling when a bird is in the red zone. I'd rate myself average with a diaphragm. Because of this, I have leaned HEAVILY on pot calls over the last 15 years and my Dawkins slate has sealed the deal enough that it'll have to break to be removed from my vest. I'm a very aggressive, close combat kind of turkey hunter and the Dawkins slate has been good to me. Confidence for me comes with proven performance in the field, thus the Dawkins has earned it's keep many times over. My .02

Heck of a sales pitch, my friend! Now I'm tempted to get me one!

 

[muddyboots]

Yea I gotta have a slate now.

 

[Adam Jackson]

For what it is worth, Darrin makes a fine crystal pot too. It will flat sing.

Don't act like you know how to use that. oke: oke: oke:

 

[Spurhunter]

Between being out of town and the post office missing my delivery due to ice on my driveway I finally got my aluminum today. Wow. This thing is incredible. Granted I've never had a custom call before but this thing is out of this world. I can't wait to use it on the youth hunt!
