Springfield, Missouri --(Ammoland.com)- Good duck calling techniques are essential to success. There is no substitute for practice so do it whenever and wherever you can.
Go out and listen to live birds or taped sounds of birds.
Don’t wait to work on it in the blind.
When you’ve mastered it, learn to call a lot when they’re working a rig, but once they’ve committed, lay off and don’t do anything except maybe a little feed chuckle if it looks like they are coming in. If they drift or pass, hit them hard with the calls again.

On sunny, warm, still mornings, your calling should be easy and maybe even a little lazy. If it’s a windy, blustery day, then you have to work hard, be aggressive, and call constantly in a very excited fashion.

Banded Call’s Innovative Custom Duck & Goose Calls Sets Them Apart Sportsman Channel and WILD TV hunting show host Chad Belding launches signature calls product line.
Banded Duck and Goose Calls
Banded Calls
Atlanta, Ga --(Ammoland.com)- Banded Nation, parent company of nationally-renowned hunting show host Chad Belding’s many properties, announced the official nationwide launch of a new line of designer duck and goose calls titled Banded Calls.
The innovative new calls mix a custom engineered design with detailed top shelf engraving.
Banded Calls will be available at several dealer outlets throughout the U.S. and Canada including – Scheels, Cabela’s, Gander Mountain and Mack’s Prairie Wings, and can also be purchased online at www.bandedcalls.com.
“I fell in love with duck and goose calls and calling in 1997, and I’ve never wanted to be involved in anything else since,” Belding said. “I’ve always had good ideas for short reed goose calls and duck calls, and I just thought the timing was perfect to launch the Banded Calls brand.”
Developed with call designs being field tested long before they were introduced to the public, Banded Calls brand line of custom calls features an engineered design with a detailed top shelf engraving. This, combined with the addition of the entire vocabulary of the Canada Goose and Mallard Duck, helps set Banded Calls apart. The line of calls allows every duck and goose hunter to equip themselves with the proper tools needed to be successful day in and day out in the field.
“Each of our call designs is unique in several ways including length, shape, bore size, and gut system,” Belding explained. “These calls are truly built for the novice caller all the way up the ladder to the proficient duck and goose caller.”
The Banded Calls product line is highlighted by three signature calls:
The Wreckin’ Ball is the fastest, goosiest, easy blowing short reed goose all on the market. It features a classy look, detailed engraving, and comfortable feel in your hands. The Wreckin’ Ball™ is tuned with X-Factor Guts from Lynch Mob and made of cast acrylic exclusively in America.
Crazy Train is designed to allow for complete air control and delivery. Built with cast acrylic and tuned with the X-Factor Guts from Lynch Mob, this call has the sound and performance to stall the flight from the early season to the end.
The Banzai is a double reed duck call built to perform on every level from simple quacks to a full sequence of greeters. Banzai translates to “Battle Cry,” which is exactly what the ducks will hear. Built with cast acrylic and tuned to perfection in America, the Banzai will thin out flock after flock.
“Fans and viewers of my show THE FOWL LIFE can expect to see the complete line of Banded Calls being utilized in the field during each hunt including the Wreckin’ Ball, Crazy Train, and Banzai,” Belding said. “Banded Calls is not stopping there. We already have three new calls in the pipeline to be released before the end of 2011.”

In 1979, I was stationed at Ft. Benning Ga. I purchased a 22 cal target pistol and was told that before I could do so, I had to have a letter from the local police dept on their letterhead stating I was a “citizen of good standing”. I went to the local police dept and met with the Chief of Police who reached into a drawer in his desk and produced a letter from a stack, signed it and handed it to me. I recall his comments to this day. “Hell son, your white.”
The letter requirement was obviously a ploy to keep guns out of black hands.
I’m not waiting for a candidate who is “perfection” – just one that is “Republican”! The author seems to think that Romney is an actual choice – gun control and taxes to the max Romney – the Liberal. What’s the difference between Romney and Obama? Obama’s father was Kenyan, Romney’s was Mexican… Neither have the best interests of We the People at heart.
The more I look at this, the more I’m forced to conclude that there is only 1 party that can get elected – the Liberal Socialist party – and that what we have is simply warring factions (Paul excluded, he’s something else entirely). I’m tired of throwing away my votes for people who only wish to harm my family further… regardless of whether they call themselves Republican or not. So I’ll write in this time if necessary (I will NOT vote for Rombama or his Ilk). And it’s become clear to me that my votes DO NOT COUNT, and I’m not represented… and that I won’t be after November either.
