Being new to turkey hunting (not hunting) I was informed a striker call like this would be a good learning point. Upon arrival, I opened the package and followed directions for using (including online reviews recommending to prep the slate and the striker). I messed with this thing for over an hour and could only get a few horrible sounds. I figured, maybe because I was still new at this, I was having trouble learning. So, I took this to someone who is a very experienced turkey hunter, and he also had trouble getting this to produce any sounds. He got a few sounds, but none worth anything. He gave me his friction call to try, and I had no problem at all using his (not sure what his was off top of my head).
I stopped by another store a week before the hunt, and picked up a Primos box call. I chalked the box up, and was producing awesome turkey sounds within a few minutes.
This slate call is a lesson learned and money wasted. Not worth shipping back for a refund.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by hoosiertageater Great slate
From my experience this is the best low end slate . It conditions easily and sounds very good. This is my main call and it is the first call I take out and the last one I put away. Good beginner call.
P.S. the striker is JUNK

As I have seen in some reviews the striker used can make a lot of difference in the call working as it should.Another very important point is the striker "pitch" or "angle" in relation to the slate.
Once the correct "pitch" is found ,the perfect yelp can be acheived with a dime sized oval drawn on the slate with the striker.

If your having problems you might wanna get a different striker, the one that comes with it is good but I use an after market H. S. strut striker. Other than that just keep trying different ways of holding it and practice.1 of 1
