anyone know anything about these?
Been looking at making a homemade e-caller for a while now and have it all mapped out. I have a base price set about $110 for all parts and MP3 player.
With the Spitfire listed at $199 I am having trouble not getting it. Is it not as good a product as their higher end products? why is it so cheap? would i be better off just making my own?
Any info would help, thanks guys!

i like that idea..but what about when i wanna call in rain/snow. Is your rig sealed? waterproof?
I want to make sure it lasts, I feel like my homemade fix would be nothing but prolonged work over the years. (unless I put more $$ into it, which is where i run into the dilemma of just getting a foxpro)

Tell them you want a powerhorn. It's between $25-$30. To answer OP, I haven't owned it, but have been hearing good things about it lately. Supposedly there were some problems with the early manufactured ones, but that's supposed to be fixed now.

i bought one a few weeks ago.. 3 out of 4 hunts i've called something in.... the 4th day that i didn't see anything i called in the same exact spots i called in the day before. but the first day i called in 3 yotes at once, 2nd day 2 foxes at once, 3rd day a solo fox. these were all day hunts none at night yet... to say the least i've had some damn good luck with it and LOVE it!

When you order one, can you tell them the sounds that you want?
