First single reed

Postby NORTH » Fri Apr 05, 2013 5:04 pm

I'm looking to buy my first single reed call and I have narrowed it down to two calls, the RNT original and short barrel. I was wondering which call would be a good call to start learning on? I will also be using the call primarily for field hunting if that helps.
Thanks in advance

Lot of guys on here have good knowledge about the RNT products. I'm sure you'll get some good guidance here shortly.

Thanks for the input, I was leaning towards the original so it look like I'll head that direction. :beer:

That's what Butch recommends for beginners to single reed calls. That is one of the reasons I suggest it. :thumbsup:

Original will give you more range in the field as well. SB is a great call but I tend to use it in smaller areas. The original is just so easy and so sweet to run.

Completely positive, unless your upset there shouldn't be any tension!

The better question is why can't my uncle be butch?:)

He's my uncle too. Didn't know I had a cousin in Cali. But Butch doesn't know jack about duck hunting. Deer hunting sure, not ducks though.

Lol. Part of my family is originally from a small community just north of Stuttgart. No joke. Am I related to butch? Probably not but it is Arkansas so it's possible.:):):)

That's why they give them so long of a season. It's to even out the odds.
