Call makers that must be visited at the convention?

Post by MeadowCreekMounts »

This year will be my first trip to the convention. I've heard names thrown around but can't match names with company names. Who (name and call company name) should I see at the convention? I need to get a couple more box calls.

Got there about 30 min before they opened and we're on the shuttle leaving now. I don't really care to stand and talk to people unless I'm interested in their products.

Anyways, think I wound up with 6 box calls, 3 mouth calls, and a scratch box.

Can't remember what all I got, I'll update later.

The Wilper Custom Calls me and my buddy bought are our favorites, we each got 2 from him. I also like the Pollards Elite Box calls we got.

Stop by and see John Eddleman from Greenville MS. He makes Turpin style boxes that have a real unique sound. Mr. Eddleman is a great guy to talk to as well.
