using mirrors for pot calls

[Adam @ Bird Creek Calls]

I was just wondering if anyone used morrows as a playing surface. I found some at hobby lobby that will fit the calls I've made and they sound OK. I try to get some pics up later. By the way these are the first pot calls I've made.

Thanks Adam

Never have.  But if the thickness is right it should play ok.  The obvious concern to me is that it is very reflective and one little glimmer from a couple hundred yards away would spook a bird.

I have been pondering this very same thing since I bought a pack of 3" mirrors for sound boards a year ago. My thought was to etch tem fo decorative calls but I can't bring myself to make a call who's sole intent is to sit on a shelf.

Might be good to use to see behind you if you hear something

Exactly what I was thinking.

I turned the mirrors upside down so the playing surface was the backing. It would be really hard for it to shine with the reflective surface pointing towards the bottom of the call.

:D  Kept me from having much to say.

Its how I got started out. 

CCO and other call making sites weren't really heard of in my neck of the woods when I started making calls, so I went to Hobby Lobby with a striker in hand, and I saw what I thought I could make a turkey sound with.

I once carried a small sand blasted glass cup in the woods with me that would play when I cupped in my hand.  :D

My brother used a plastic come and and piece of plexiglass when we first started turkey hunting.  I don't knock anything anyone makes or used.

Got a customer that has been on my fanny for several years now to use a mirror for a soundboard for him. Just cant bring myself to do it for some reason
