five days until turkey opener..wipe my friction with?

[elky McElkerson]

i have a GREAT glass call i got for free.
i made up the financial diff, by ordering a custom slate call. i am really a rookie turkey hunter. i took some sandpaper, and cleaned them up. you know that dust you whip up? think it would be wise to take a medical, pre-soaked alcohol wipe to it? seems like it would take off sanding dust and any fingerprint grease.

anyone keep alcohol wipes in their turkey gear bag?

Elky I don`t ever touch my slate or glass calls with any thing but sand paper on glass and use a green scotch brite on my slates. The fine dust does not bother them. I don`t know what the other guys and gals think but I think they sound better with the dust on them, a little more gritt.

I lost my carbon striker for my slate call last year.
Can a person just buy a striker?

that is the one striker i cannot run. i sound like a dying duck. lemme look for it at home tonight.

 

[cnelk]

That would be great! Thanks!
I cant go turkey hunting with Buglemaster without a striker

 

[bnsafe]

yes you can buy them, but i may have one also, i will check when i get home. not sure if i brougth them to co or threw them away. will let you know asap

 

[elky McElkerson]

nope!! that one didnt survive \"the purge\"..my wife\'s anti hoarding campaign.

i did find a 3-pack. from primos. purple heart, one walnut (i think) and one acrylic one..your\'s if you say the word. i dont use any of them.

 

[Buglemaster]

I also have one Brad. It\'s yours if you need it.

 

[cnelk]

Geez!
Thanks everyone - I appreciate it!
How \'bout this...
Dave hang on to that one, I may need another by the time we get there
Elky, I\'ll send you a PM

 

[elky McElkerson]

it will be a friggen miracle if i hit a turkey..man,i sucked with the bow today!! SUCKED!! i let an arrow drop and i think it \"leveraged\" my nock point off.

i measured and i think i got it back. crazy..i\'m too mental to be a great archer. mental.

my calling is wonderful tho..i\'ll get them to come in and probably wiff an arrow over his head. hahhaha..99% mental. 1% talent. damn.

 

[bnsafe]

you will be fine elky, just a bad day, it happens

 

[rudyc]

Would a hunk of broken carbon arrow shaft work?

I have some OLD beamon carbons from 1993 with the outserts on them. I am going to cut one and put a piece in a short dowl. They have a thick wall and look just like the strikers. :idea:

 

[mainebrdr]

Hey F M, I bet you touch it with a stryker!

Brad, they are all over in packages and made with different materials for slightly different sounds. Use your elk mouth reeds. you can probably make those sound as good as a slate. Of course the slate will work better for purring!

i like the wood striker better. the hollow carbon, i suck at....

 

[elky McElkerson]

[bnsafe]
