Hi mate I made my own aswell ( well my grandad did lol ) we tried a few with different size holes, think 2mm one side and 4mm the

worked brilliant managed to call a few in the day which was nice

Is it the strip of metal that's bent with a hole on top and bottom if so yes the hard part is blowing them correct u need to rest your tounge on the bend that goes in your mouth

I picked one up off eBay. £6 if I remember. It wasn't the 'original' (BFC), but a knockoff. I can't see the difference between mine and the other one that is double the price though.

 

It takes quite a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it you are on a winner. I'm sure that I have heard foxes scratching at my front door, trying to get in. Either that or it is my wife trying to get out!

That's it bigad. I'm going to have a look on ebay Their is also a good video on YouTube on how to use them

Does the larger hole go up or down? The few I've made I've had varying success with the noise i get out of them.

Ordered one of the knock off tenterfields off eBay

[jollyscotsman 11]

2 mm hole top,4mm bottom bud,both about 10mm in from the the fold,make sure there both aligned,your tongue presses on the fold, i just got in from a lamping session,had one run in from about 300 yards,however it ended up in front of a herd of sheep,so no safe shot on,ba**ard!,i have its address though,and ill be back like arnie

[shropshire dan 467]

Nice one great effort.

 

Can't wait to try them out apparently quite hard to get used to though.

 

I've got 7 different manual calls in my arsenal and find their is always 1 that'll bring a shy charlie in.

[jollyscotsman 11]

S**t dan you must look like a christmas tree with all them hanging round your neck )

[shropshire dan 467]

Haha. Some of them are just little dog squeakers keep them in my chest pocket of the camos or easy reach when lamping from the truck. Going to order a fox call CD off eBay aswel their only £4 but worth a try
