It's not as clean sounding or as loud as the WT. I'm satisfied with it, but was a little disappointed with the paused air noise, and full volume speaker distortion. Mid volume it's excellent, but at higher volume it shows its foibles. I am very much looking forward to WT's running 3rd party sounds! That will be fun! - - Steve Kent,

Your memory is better than mine. I had forgotten to whom I sold the call. I went to your web site. Nice job and great sounds. I will contact you to order those sounds. They are great. I am interested in a new caller and will buy the WT Mighty Atom when they allow third party sounds. What is your opinion of the MAD Caller? Again Congratulations on a beautiful cat. Kent Hi Steve

I called one with that unit, but never got a shot off! (Not uncommon in this jungle.) The lion sounds were generated by a 20 month old female Cougar named "Solo." I've made arrangements with her owners to spend time recording her. I had a group of her vocals professionally cleaned by a studio on Seattle, then I assembled the sequences myself. Mark covered the rest, MAD Big Country, and 243wssm with 87gr V-max. Good to see you about! - - Steve Hi Kent,

The electronic caller he mentions in his story is a MAD Big Country. It used to be a Minaska caller and I believe the company was bought out by Flambeau. You can view them on the Flambeau site under the MAD heading (right side of home page). The AR upper he used is chanbered in .243 WSSM. Steve told me he's shooting an 80gr bullet (poly-tip - didn't mention the brand) and added that it's moving at near light speed (well...upper 3000's anyway). Steve is very impressed with the performance. As far as question #1 - I'll leave that one to Steve. He's stuck on something & might now want to tip his hand that far... Thanks again for reading, Mark Healy Kent – Good morning.
