Welcome
to Memory Maker Game Calls
by Larry
Bean custom call builder.
I make truly “one of a kind” turkey calls. Each friction
call is “free hand” turned on a lathe. I started
building calls in 2001 as just a hobby, I can’t
tell you how many calls ended up in the trash trying to find the right pitch.
I worked many hours over the next few years trying to find that perfect
pitch in a call while maintaining the beauty of the wood and found
that some wood, even though it was beautiful, didn’t have the right
acoustics to mimic the true sound of the wild turkey.
I was building calls for friends and for the next two years I was perfecting
my craft. Shortly thereafter, my friends encouraged me to make my calls
available for others to enjoy. My friends would show the calls to their
friends and soon I was overwhelmed with phone calls from fellow hunters
who had to have one.
In the fall of 2003, Memory Maker Game Calls was born.
Since then I have been making “true “ one of a kind calls, turning
each one on my lathes. No two calls are the same. Each
turkey has its own sound, some call loud, some soft, some have clear notes
and some are raspy.
I entered the National Wild Turkey Federations Grand National Hunting
Call makers Contest in Columbus, Ohio in 2004 for the first time. I did
not place
but got rave reviews from hunters and call makers alike. In Feb. of 2005,
again I entered the Grand National Call Makers contest for the second
time,
this year it was held in Nashville, Tenn... I placed
1st in the Glass and Striker Division, and also won the coveted D.D.Adams
Award ,Outstanding Friction Call Maker, Best of Show 2005.
I use different materials for the calling surface such as slate, glass,
aluminum, and crystal, whatever you prefer. I also use different kinds
of wood. Call or e-mail me for availability. I will build a custom call
to your
specifications at your request. I hope that
these calls will bring you great turkey hunting memories as they have
for me and my family and friends.
There are only a limited number produced each year. Each call will be
signed and dated by me at the buyer’s request.
