Petrified wood is the key component in my calls, producing sound quality that cannot be matched by anything else. It has a natural rough texture and a grain like wood.The purrs made by A.M. Calls are second to none and have fooled many an old tom.
I prefer to call against the grain but one can call with the grain and get a different sound. I feel it is best to not lift your striker when using the petrified calls. They produce sound by the vibration of the entire pot and not just the top of the call.
My patented shape (patent no. D72148) produces quality sound with almost any type of wood. The pot of my call is made by gluing 4 pieces of wood together, this patented process produces a very strong pot that has a unique look. The patented process of using petrified wood as a striking surface (pat. no. 8,944,897 B1) gives the turkey hunter an option that is different and produces a very real sound. If petrified wood gets wet, it will dry out in about ten minutes. To condition them, sand with the grain and you will find that it doesn't need to be done very often. For the slate call enthusiast, a line of slate calls is available with the same craftmanship as our signature pertrified wood calls. SEE THE DEMO VIDEO HERE
This new box call is revolutionary in its design and is patent pending at this time. It's sides aren't permanently glued and by loosening or tightening tension one can create multiple bird sounds with ease. It also purrs really well and has the ability to make very raspy hen yelps. I hand make and tune each call with great care. The call you receive may look different than the one in the photo. I use many different wood combinations and it would be nearly impossible to show them all. Get Yours today!
The A.M. Striker is a totally new type of striker for a friction call! It is an adjustable striker that will enable the hunter to move the head of the striker and lock it in different positions. One can produce multiple sounds with the same striker and tune the striker to the call. Find Out More about our adjustable striker.
As a kid, I took to hunting like a duck takes to water. I have hunted, trapped and fished all my life and found many hours of enjoyment from it all. In all honesty, the wild turkey is the one animal that I have pursued the least of all. It's ironic even to me that I have developed something for hunting turkeys. I first started using petrified wood in knife handles and putting it on table tops. Eventually, it made it's way onto a friction call and since then I have worked to perfect a product. Years ago, I decided to make a fur coat out of bobcats. A friend quickly nicknamed me Bobcat Williams and the name stuck. I am pleased to be in the game call business.
Thanks,
