1995 VHS • Beginner's Mouth Callin' 60 FPS

About

Beginner's Mouth Callin' is a turkey calling instruction video running approximately 37 minutes and 34 seconds, hosted by Dick and Chris Kirby of Quaker Boy Game Calls, based in Orchard Park, New York at 5455 Webster Road. The program focuses entirely on the mouth diaphragm turkey call for beginning and intermediate hunters.

The Kirbys' competitive credentials are established at the outset: wins in the U.S. Open, U.S. Open Champion of Champions, Masters Invitational, Grand Nationals, and World's Championships across more than 30 states over 20 years. Chris's 1995 World Championship in Montgomery, Alabama is cited specifically, and Dick's 14 consecutive Grand Slams over 15 years are noted along with additional double, triple, and a 1986 World's Slam. Instruction begins with call construction, explaining that Quaker Boy builds mouth calls one at a time by hand from an aluminum frame, stretched latex, and tape. The difference between clear and raspy calls is explained in terms of split reeds, with clear calls recommended for beginners. The Beginner's Double, which comes with the video, is the primary instructional call. Fitting guidance covers bending the aluminum frame to match palate shape, trimming the tape skirt for smaller mouths, and positioning the call so the latex sits at the tooth-to-gum line.

Sound production is taught through the words "huck" and "yuck" to position the tongue correctly against the upper palate and molars. Calls covered include the basic cluck, yelp, kiki run described as a young lost poult call, and the automatic cutting system on the single-reed call. The closing segment catalogs the full Quaker Boy mouth call product line by name from beginner through advanced levels.
