In my mail box! In a big envelope marked “Your DIABLO!!!”
This is one of the twelve PREDATR Diablo series. What a nice call. Not only dose it look good it feels and sounds good. Lance said that he thought that it sounded better than his original. I don’t know if it sounds better (I will let the coyotes be the judge of that) but it still caries the range high to low and loud to quiet as the original.
To be honest I’m half afraid to use it! I know that temptation will win out and it will end up around my neck this fall.
Thanks Lance it was well worth the wait!

Lance,
I got my 4 of 12 Diablo today (Actually yesterday, just checked the box today).
This call was well worth the wait. It has a super sound, a resonating that I’m sure is credited to the brass, and is effortless to blow on (I blew the wife and kids out of the Suburban today) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
The number one thing I like about this call is the weight. It just feels right in the hand. It’s kinda like holding that well-balanced rifle or pool cue if that helps me explain it better. Its one of those things when you hold it you just know. Heavy is better in my opinion.
I get a picture up as soon as possible and Lance…sign me up for next year if you choose to venture the limited call making again.
Thanks,
Todd
PS….as much as I would love for this call to go to the field, I’ll have to add it to the collection and maybe get another for the field.

AKY-
Glad you're happy with it. But I'm sad you want to shelve it just because of its looks. I make those things to drive, not to look at. Said it before, say it again, I ain't never bought a car 'cause I liked the hubcaps!
If worse comes to worse, I still have these three lonely little boogers left and would be more than happy to let you have another one. You just have to get into the fray before one of these "lookers" gets smart and orders his or her's.
I had mine out the other day (#1 of 12) in the country and put it up against three of my other collectibles, including one of my regular Predatrs. Volume wise, there's no question, and I attribute it to the all-brass bore. Range-wise, it has everything you've come to epxect with one of my calls, low to high, soft to loud.
On a related note, I've had a couple buyers contribute a little extra to the memorial going to Sly's program and I appreciate it, guys.
