    Default Opinions about Knight & Hale calls

    I just bought 2 new slate calls from Knight & Hale's hammer series. A glass surface for intense raspy calls for long range calling & I bought a slate surface for soft mellow yelps, purrs, and clucks. This particular call is suppose to be great for up-close" calls for drawing into shooting range. I know alot of people like Primos calls. I have a Primos box call but I'm wondering how some of you feel about Knight & Hales products. I've watched a few of their shows & they seem to make great equipment to.

    Funny you should ask, I just picked up a knight and hale call earlier today. I am fairly new to turkey hunting, but this one sounded great to me. I have been drivin everyone nuts while practicing with this thing

    Not sure how those calls work b/c I never used one but i'm sure they sound ok. Personally I think it's hard to beat a nice custom call that guys on these forums make. Just something about that personal touch they give each call compared to the mass productions of the bigger companies.

    Funny you mentioned this because I told my girlfriend last night I just bought 2 more slate calls & rolled her eyes. She knows turkey calling practice is right around the corner.

    I use both Knight & Hale and Primos calls. I like both their products.I have an Ol' Yeller and a Power Crystal and no complaints on either one.

    I have both Knight and Hale and Primos.

    Really like my K&H I have and the Primos. Planning on picking up a another one here this weekend. Got me some new mouth calls the other day.
    Some people go to church and think about hunting. Others go hunting and think about God.

    I use the ol' yeller slate call and the ol yelper box call....I also use a really old N&H box call for rios: it is extremely loud and sounds like a goose to me..those rios can't resist it. i don't think you can go wrong with their turkey calls...

    me personally I like calls that everyone doesn't have, the reason for this is everyone in a 10 mile radios has the same primos call because thats all the sell around here, and if a turkey starts understanding that there being hunted i think they reconize the same sound, maybe this isn't true, but it sounds good lol, if they sound good to you i'm sure there able to bring in a long beard this spring!!!!

    I've had good success with the Knight and Hale calls. I just recently switched to primos calls though. I like to try different calls each year to see which one works the best.

    Being on the prostaff with Hunters Specialties, of course I have an affinity for their line of HS Strut calls. They have a huge variety as well, and alot more mouth calls to choose from. Still, I've tried a ton of others and even collect them and most do sound pretty good.

    Knight & Hale make great calls and I really like using them. This might partly be because I live in Kentucky and so do they. The Ol' yeller slate call has called in several gobblers for my family. For mouth calls I prefer Primos.

    I think that I have tried almost every call made and they all seem to get the job done. If they make a bad sound it is usually my fault. The Knight and Hale calls got the most use last season but this year I'm itching to try something new. Have a trip to Cabelas planned this week and the odds are there will be a few new turkey calls in the bag when I leave the store.

    I haven't tried the new series but I have had an Ol Yeller every since they came out and it is one of my 3 "must have" slates that I always carry with me.
