Zink Thunder Ridge Turkey Call

The Thunder Ridge uses injection molding technology, which provides a more consistent sound profile than traditional wood pots that can be affected by humidity or temperature changes. The crystal surface also offers a distinct, sharp bite that cuts through wind better than slate or glass.

Yes, it is very approachable. The included E-Z Gripper Ring helps you maintain a consistent grip, which is key to learning how to control the friction and produce realistic yelps and purrs without slipping.

You should lightly scuff the crystal surface with the included conditioning pad whenever the call starts to sound dull or unresponsive. The built-in pocket on the back of the call keeps your conditioning pad and striker organized so you can quickly touch it up while in the field.

Absolutely. Because of the crystal surface's versatility, you can apply more pressure for aggressive, long-distance cutting or use a lighter touch for soft, close-range clucks and purrs.

Keep the tip of the striker clean and dry. If the tip gets glazed over from use, you can lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper or the conditioning pad to restore the friction needed to grip the crystal surface.
