grousehunter Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have a SMH and I like the call a lot. I have never used the showtime though. If you don't mind a used call I think that is the way to go. You can normally find a SMH for 80-90 dollars shipped used but good condition.

cutter08 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 They are not bad calls. I have a SMH and have blown allot of his calls. I didn't care much for the showtime. But foiles calls don't fit my style of calling. I like Tim Grounds calls. The only thing i can tell you is go out and try a bunch of different calls and see what one fits you best.

stam34 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 This coming sat and sun if you have time Foiles and Zink and the Duck Commander are all going to be at scheels in mankato then you will have vareities of calls to try . make sure you blow them yourself because these guys are professionals and makes their calls sound great. i also blow a SMH .

fishkid Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 if i were you i would go to a gander mountain or cabelas and try out all the calls before you even think of buying a call. Just listing to sound bits on the internet will not really help you in choosing a goose call that fits your style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduty Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Good advice from everyone. Not all manufacturers calls fit an individual caller's style. Blow as many as you can. I have seen many geese fall in front of a SMH. I personally blow zink calls because they seem to work best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutter08 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 also i would buy a good instructional DVD like Bad Grammer or honker talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Write-Outdoor Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Foiles makes a great calling video as well...one for goose and another for ducks. I've used a lot of different calls but like the Foiles SMH the best. I've seen more geese turn from long distances and key in from other fields responding to the SMH.
