Negative, over.

Jim, Sailrite.com has some excellent tutorials on YouTube about making a dodger for your boat. As far as Cordura 500, you may want to collaborate with you lady friend in terms of picking a fabric and correct thread. I chose Cordura for a camouflage pattern but I feel there are probably better...

Social media platforms, starting July 1st in Minnesota, must now have a mental health warning label that appears every time a user opens the platform and disappears when you acknowledge or exit. Is duckboats.net excempt or do we need a suicide prevention hotline for when a build goes south? RM

Jim, Not much help here either. Cordura 1000 was used for my dodger and it works well. It can sometimes be a bear to snap into place but if you wet the fabric it relaxes the fit. My best advice is to match the material to your machine. Cordura 500 is probably the max for light duty home sewing...

Is this why my duck calls stop working when it is cold? I try blowing air on the backside to remove moisture but nothing really helps but a warm pocket. RM

Henry and Rick, Thanks fellas, I will give it a peek when I get a chance. RM

It is possible to love ducks too much!

No idea about New Orleans chapters. Picked it up at a MN State Convention.

Yes, it is numbered; 121/250. After further reading I discovered that a call can sound flat if the cork gets old. This one was made in 2002. RM

As a longtime fan of just about anything Tom Roster writes regarding reloading, I thought you might find it as enjoyable as well. RM https://shootingsportsman.com/dangerous-loading-practices/

No updates on how the Benelli 828u shoots. Per doctor orders; no shooting for ten days after my angiography so for entertainment I watch YouTube videos about my new shotgun. Lame, I know... RM

Needless to say, alcohol was a factor in its purchase. Down the road I would like to convert it to something that sounds like a duck. I'm not that much interested in mantle pieces. RM

Follow up question: Can a call be converted to metal reed? RM

In the interest of conservation, I purchased this call; a 2001 DU State Chairman Award duck call made by Joe Bucher. If anyone knows anything about this call or it's designer it would be appreciated. RM

I would need another forum on how to use them...

Always looking for an excuse to buy a lathe... RM

I thought of low cost alternatives as well but if Dani is asked to present forensic ballistic evidence in a trial, the other side would surely look for ways to discredit her testimony. Perhaps not the place to pinch pennies. RM

Henry, I've seen you wood working skills first hand; perhaps make you own stock? RM
