    I really like the AMP calls to. Seem to be louder.

    When I bought my first calls they were the primos 3 pack. I liked them and they seemed to give very good control over the tone but weren't as loud. Those AMP calls are loud and get better with time. They also last a long time.

    Re: Preferred Elk call?

    Has anyone tried these new diaphragms called Native Ripit?? (400, 450, 500)
    Just seen them on Basspro. (not cabela's ca)

    Damn expensive, but i am always game to try at least one to see.

    Also, on a side note, those Montana decoys work.
    Had one set up, and a 5pt bull just couldn't resist.
    With all the calling, he came right out in the open, exactly what i had hoped the decoy would do.
    When they get close, they know to a hair where the other elk should be standing and they should be physically seeing.

    I am not going to lie.
    I "forgot" a couple of times that i had it set up.
    And when getting up to take a piss and taking a few steps, i suddenly got "pumped" because i thought there was an elk that
    walked in silently on me....lol (had it 20 yards or so away form me)
    Old age, what can i say.

    Hopefully i will get around to editing the vid i took of that bull bugling while standing there and post on HBC at some point.

    I took your advice and ordered the amped grey and white. I am a beginner elk caller and have been practicing on the elk 101 diaphragm calls for the last 6 or so months. I can tell you that these amped calls are of higher quality and I found them much easier to use.

    Thanks.
    Basically have that tone trough the carlton makes except looks like metal.
    I think HS made the originals but then Primos sued for some sort of copyright, even though i only saw HS selling them long
    before Primos ever came out with them.
    I never like the Primos....too thin.

    But, the tone trough (plastic or metal dome) makes it a lot easier for most folks, imo.

    Mouth diaphragm is IMHO the only way to go... just have to put in the time to practice.

    PLENTY of success in our crew with the berry "thunder bugle" and assorted bite style cow calls. The berry is easy to get going with, but more importantly, its easy to get LOUD!!!! Sheer volume to carry that sound out as far as possible is the name of the game IMO. We only use our cow calls for a little extra realism when the bull is getting close.

    True, mouth diaphragms aren't the "loudest".
    (depends on where and if you get good acoustic from echoes or in a bowl)
    Power bugle probably does carry the furthest or a mouth one from Primos.
