How do I keep this thing from tickling the crap outta the roof of my mouth? practice practice practice. I have a bad gag reflex [go ahead, insert jokes here] and it was tough when I first started trying to use one. I sounded like crap because I'd gag before I could make a sound unless I moved it further forward, in which case it still sounded like crap. I've finally gotten accustomed to it so I no longer gag. still don't sound great and now I don't have an excuse.

How do I keep this thing from tickling the crap outta the roof of my mouth? Trim the tape, but take very small cuts -- otherwise you'll over-cut & won't get the call to seal good on the roof of your mouth... I have to trim the tape on every mouth call I get...

Try a Hooks call, hand trimming tape is hard to get the same every time.

Amen...I also have a terrible gag reflex, my dental hygienist can tell ya'!!!...you just have to stick with it, and like was said in another post, CAREFULLY trim any sharp corners or edges or un-needed part of the call, excess will depend on your palate

Try a Hooks call, hand trimming tape is hard to get the same every time. That's a good suggestion, too; the way I ensure I trim the same every time is -- I use my previous call as the "template"... Gets it right every single time... BTW, on the gag reflex thing, I still get it but it's few & far between now.. But, from time to time, I'll hock it up & gag like a sick dog & flick the crap outta the call with my tongue to get it out of my mouth... I figured you're not a) a man and b) a true turkey hunter if you haven't nearly puked on a mouth call LOL

Thats my plan, it sits in the console of my truck right now. I went to youtube and found some videos with lots of turkey calling on them, downloaded the audio to MP3 and make a DVD of them so I have a reference to play when I'm practicing

Thats my plan, it sits in the console of my truck right now. Be sure to take it out when it's hot, or it can/will/may ruin the rubber. I've found the double-stack calls to be a bit easier to learn on. I was always fond of the Primos Raspy Double Hook. Darn sure takes practice to be proficient. Good luck!

Practice is the key. Someone that can run them can run them. Tape or not. They feel better and seal better with them fitting your mouth so easier to run. Nothing we can tell you you havent seen online. Just keep on keeping on.

And just keep on keeping on trying to learn to use one with a dip in. You'll get it eventually.
