    Question for you turkey experts…. I picked up a Pin-Point call set from the Knight & Hale line. I watched the DVD supplied with it, to learn how to use them….(wife was real impressed last night while practicing) anyways, I have the Woodpecker and Crow down pretty good, but when I blow on the Owl call, it makes sounds that you would typically hear after a night of drinking WAY too many cocktails. The DVD really doesn’t tell you how to do it, it more or less shows the dude blowing on it and it sounds like a Owl. Any hints on how to use this call ??? How to blow in it ? I know my mouth calls, I say Kee Kee Kee….Is it adjustable or something ??? H E L P !!!

    I’m not familiar with the K&H call, but generally a “who cooks for you, who cooks for you all” set of notes will get you in the ball park.

    Big g…you must have picked up at Gander???I got the same 3 pack on sale there…I used the crow call and had turkeys respond back when I roosted them before my season started. I think the owl call was just too quiet and they didnt hear it. But as far as the owl call im sure your blowing on the wider part and kind of cup your hands around the end of the call…kind of like a duck call..Im no pro but I got it to sound like an owl…or maybe the reed is stickin on yours…good luck ..Jay

    Yep Jay… Gander. Maybe I just need to practice some more (won’t the wife be excited ??) Thanks for the responses. Usually the wife cooks

    The key to a reeded owl call is the back pressure. Personally I usually tune mine for less back pressure than most, and this helps with the volume issue. I haven’t seen the K&H one so I can’t really help with an exact amount to use, but start by closing both hands pretty tightly at the end of the call. Then if you vary the size of the open space and the size of the sound chamber(airspace inside your cupped hands) you should find something that sounds like an owl hoot.
