Lares

[Riverfisher]

Any uncut reed will work in a Lares, but they need the dog ear if they are longer than 1.330 or they seem to want to air lock.

Been calling since 85, but didn't learn much about call operation until I started messing with contests in the early-mid 2000's. Practicing for calling contests and getting feedback from judges changed virtually everything I was doing with air presentation. I never finished better than 3rd in the state contest or any sanctioned regional though. Got a few plaques that say I was never good enough to win at mainstreet...just Ok.

I've learned a few things since I quit though. Might try again one of these years, but at almost fifty my motivation to win isn't there and you have to want it. I'd just be donating entry fees.

Don't sell yourself short.

Well, lotta silly conversation here. Some good, but about the reeds are silly.

Its nice, that Lares has precision cuts. Its helped a lot of guys. Being consistent is more critical the less skilled one is. And even if they are on a high skill level, really nice if they've dialed in a precision cut that they can work.

Other guys know what sound and operational characteristics they are looking for. Its great that they know, and can dial in a reed.

To each their own. Lares precision cuts, reeds to be cut, scissors, are all available.

If you think you can be primitive and use scissors and cork to do better LOL

RNT, and Echo do pretty well for being "primative".

I’ve made many a Lares call sound better for people by hand cutting a reed for them.

I’d say Stump does pretty well for himself that way too. Oh wait, maybe he’s “advanced” because he uses an Emory board too lol

It's amazing what can be accomplished with ancient primative tools. I don't see how he can make a duck call without the Lares advanced super duper technology
