TMAC Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 For those of you who know and can appriciate the difference, is the added cost for an acrylic call worth the extra money. When most polycarbonate calls run in the $20-50 range its hard to justify the extra $100 to go to acrylic. Any feedback is appreciated.

(TANK) Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 They say acrylic is louder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Some say can be louder, but also a richer sound and more durable. Just hard to get over the added cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 For me, it just depends on what situation calls for. Get it? Calls for? Few cheap poly calls can match the pure loud ringing hail of a high quality acrylic duck call. If you need to reach out to the birds, you may want to consider a high quality acrylic call. If all you need is a call for finishing work, then certainly, just about any call, high end or not, can be very effective for bring the birds in for the kill shot. I would suggest looking at some reasonably priced call makers like; Winglock Echo Ducklander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 I attended a duck calling seminar the other day and can say that after having had the opportunity to try some of the Zink Acrylic calls that there is a difference. Sound quality and volume leves produced are noticabley different than my run of the mill poly calls, now just need to pony up the cash and find the one I like.

VINCIshooter Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I also went to a duck calling seminar and they used acrylics but i still think wood sounds the best just more authentic to me. i like old time stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsspy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 90 to 95 % of the ducks we kill are because we are where they want to be, not the call. Use what you can afford and what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Location is critical for sure, but I wouldn't give it 90-95% outright. Some days it might be 100%, but some days, other factors might apply and drop that number way down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VINCIshooter Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 im actually looking at two new calls to add to my collection the duck commander green mile and the duck commander sarge, but i want to ask for a duck commander 72 series in burnt hedge wood for christmas. im almost as addicted to duck calls as I am to duck hunting:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
