Matt is just a beast when it comes to calling/understanding turkey talk the things he can do with friction and diaphragm is just unreal I like both calls I think you ran the older call better but it’s been your go to call so you have more confidence in it

Both calls sound good

LOVE that sound! Exactly what i need. Been looking at those boxes for a while now and been hard to find that one that has moee front end. Til now. Thankd for sharing!! All your vids are spot on!!

Both do sound great!! I can tell you definitely know your older box well!! The Van Cise sounds really good too...I like the sound you make with both calls though.

Matt really knows his stuff.

Knowledge....thank you.

I have 3 of Matt’s boxes. They are crazy real. I have one that is kinda between those 2 you just ran. Some of those old box’s are deadly due to that higher front end imo . I adapted to that years ago even with buildings my mouth calls. That high front end and when it breaks over will make one scream when nothing else will. I was sitting with Billy yargus 15 years ago and we had a discussion about it. He said “Derek 75% of my mouth calling in the woods is front end, it’s all about those octaves.” Great video bud and don’t forget that chalk. Lol

Rod Benson... my all time favorite

New sponsor = new favorite

well done.

sounds good! i love box calls. prob'ly have 12 or 15.

I want one of those sweet Panola caps!

Both are great, tough decision

Still using lynch box call,one of the old Birmingham calls,bought in Tuscaloosa 1969 for 5 bucks.You can see I have been at this for a number of years!

The difference is your first call is glued. Bottom and sides are seperate pieces . Your second call is one piece . You’ll notice most one piece calls have a “certain sound” and most glued calls have a certain sound .

What is the gobblers knob call made out of? I would like to no because I'm thinking about buying one! I like the way yours sounds!

What is the gobblers knob call made out of do you no man! I appreciate it! I like the sound

Unfortunately turkey vests don't usually accommodate two box calls. I'm a bit of a collector. I'm going to get a Matt Van Cise call but I was hoping to see him at an outdoor show and test drive them before I buy. I do have a few David Halloran calls that are nothing short of incredible. They're also works of art. His Crystal Mistress is the best friction call I own. His box calls with ebony lids sound amazing.

i'll be curious to hear how the new one works out for you ... keep us posted

Man I really like the sound of the old one but I’m old school like that. I still use a Lynch world champion every year

I'm missing your hunts.

The Gobbler's Knob sounds less like a turkey call. Hard to beat the cutts on the new call, though.

I love the look of the V.C. call, but at a distance, the Sulligent call is better to my ear. #reppingRiverRoadSulligentAl.

I like the gobbles knob. Sounds more like a real turkey.

Have NEVER heard a Van Cise call i didnt like! Would LOVE to eventually get one!! What do they run? And how hard is it to get one?

How much are the box call

I like them both, but keep your old one handy!

Blood wood over maple for sure the best

Matt charging for boxes? $150. $200. Or more?

Gobbler's Knob sounds cleaner in the beginning of the note with a ever so slight raspy finish. Whereas the Custom call sounds high pitched in the beginning of the note but also very raspy at the same time, almost confusing to me, but in the end your selling that song to a Tom not me, so if you get repeated bird's running straight into you I don't guess it matters, but like you I'd be reluctant to feel confident with that call because it just sounds odd to me, but I guess if you find a different spot on the paddle later that sings a note you like that might change the whole deal! Kill a bird first with the tried and true then practice on another bird with the new call.

Both sound like killers to my ears!
