Lonzo is sharing a booth with Gods country outfitters. A few have told me that they didn't think he was there. He is there, just hiding out somewhat.

Thanks for the advice. What's the tone difference in the two?

Agree; if you have the time and ability to sand/finish the pot. Have made a couple with ordering the components from Brookside and and they sound just fine.

Turkeys won't notice. Seriously I used a Dawkins and/or Lonzo anadized for
A couple yrs but never liked the amount of conditioning required. Some people sand them down to the bare aluminum, then these guys started making stoned aluminum surfaces and they are just more user friendly
To me. I like to pull a call out and go straight to work, not have to worry about conditioning.
Lonzo will have both, check them out and decide for yourself.
I'm not sure Dawkins will have calls for sale in Nashville. He and Lon are close friends, calls are very similar in sound.

My sleeper pic is Ghost Maker crystal/Osage. Fantastic call
Lots of good call makers there but those I've owned and would own again if somehow I lost all my calls
I'm not an aluminum guy personally more of a crystal and slate guy so those are the ones I know a lot more about

I'm a huge Halloran fan can't go wrong with anything from him at all.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned Matt McLain but he builds as good as a call as you will find. His pots fit a hand like no other.
I played a ton of his calls today in different combinations and everyone was pure turkey. His prices at the show are dirt cheap to.
He got into my wallet pretty good today.
Love his Strikers by far my favorite.

Matt McClain is a get guy. Uses the money he makes off calls to fund his daughter's trap shooting hobbies.
Let's see all the goodies. :tu:Tennessee Lead":1nt7zab2 said:
A few of my favorite one piece strikers were turned by Matt, especially one black locust that is killer. He is a fine call maker, a fine gentleman, and a Tennessee boy to boot. Good job throwing his name in the mix TL.Tennessee Lead":1nt7zab2 said:
My wife bought a Halloran slate over glass. It sounds really good. I'll give it a vote.

I had the chance to get a Halloran call today that no one has yet and it's unreal.
Got to go behind the booth for being a loyal customer lol.
Got to pick from the Holy Grail!

No rush bud, I'll check back tomorrow. Glad you had a great time and got you some new calls.Tennessee Lead":2tkrr4q0 said:
I bought a Matt McClain sassafras slate. Oh my. Sounds really good. I also bought an obsession santos mahogany crystal. I'd have to say these are the 2 best pot calls I've ever owned.

I'm sick over not buying that Sassafras slate with the curly Maple. I'll have Matt make me one before long. It was nothing short of amazing.muddyboots":2p8a4nut said:
I'm loving the Osage and Bubinga strikers from Matt. I used his Black Locust on most hunts last year.

I had no idea Lonzo was in God's Country. I saw that booth, but never stopped by. I did get by Halloran's booth. Wanted to run the metal mouth 2. I liked it, but there was only one and it was sold. His wife (I think) told me that one of the vendors had bought 6 and was bringing them back so they could sell to customer's and David was going to ship him 6 off the next run he made. She told me she'd hold me one if I came back in 30 minutes. I went back and she had one and the other 5 were gone. I bought it and like it. I also ran a ceramic call of his, which I thought sounded like a slate and the twisted sister. I really like my crystal mistress, but the twisted sister is like a raspier CM. I really liked it, but didn't have the money for both.
Oh yeah I too want to see all the calls you bought especially the Halloran call.

I ran every call on his table and kept picking that sassafras back up so that told me which one to buy. I want to think he had made 7 for the show and I bought the last one. I think that's what he said. Anyway I sure do like it. I don't think I've ever owned 2 calls as nice as those 2 I bought.
