there is no comparison with the knight and hale and the haint. i do know that the haint was the first one and it sounds a whole lot better and yes it is tough at first but like every other call out there it takes practice. and more practice. just like the diaphrams and duck call when the came out it was new. just like this. theres alot of time money and stress that it take to make a call. and sure i agree may not be for everyone just like everyone dont know how to blow a duck call or a master at a diaphram. there is ppl out there that struggle with an owl hoot. just give a lil credit where credit is due and if you struggle just ask
