Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack Review

The Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack Made a Bold First Impression

As an outdoor and tactical gear specialist with over a decade under my belt, I’ve tested countless pieces of equipment. When it comes to turkey hunting, the sound of the call can make or break the hunt. That’s why I was eager to get my hands on the Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack, promising innovative design and realistic turkey vocalizations.

I was on the hunt for a diaphragm call that was easier to use. I wanted a call that could produce consistent rasp without requiring constant fine-tuning or excessive pressure. The Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack seemed to address this need with its SealRite™ design.

Upon unboxing, the first thing I noticed was the construction. The reeds looked precisely cut and meticulously assembled, promising a good seal. The calls felt robust but lightweight, ready for extended use in the field. Comparing them to my old Lynch’s Fool Proof box call and a Primos diaphragm call, the Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack immediately stood out due to its minimalist design and the absence of a traditional tab. I had high hopes that Quaker Boy’s approach would deliver on its promise of ease of use. I was excited to see if the design would make this product a reliable tool for any turkey hunter.

Real-World Testing: Putting Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack to the Test

First Use Experience

My initial testing ground was the edge of a hardwood forest in early spring, prime turkey season. The weather was cool and damp, typical for this time of year. I started practicing my yelps and clucks a few days prior to the hunt. The Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack took a little getting used to at first. The absence of the traditional tab felt strange, but after a few minutes, I found the sweet spot and began producing decent sounds. The SR-Cutthroat™ call excelled in producing raspy yelps, mimicking the mature hens I was hoping to attract.

The calls performed well even with a bit of moisture. The SealRite™ design seemed to keep the reeds from becoming waterlogged as quickly as some other calls I’ve used. However, getting the right amount of pressure and airflow still required some finesse. There were a few squeaks and squawks initially, especially when trying to produce higher-pitched kee-kees.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several weeks of consistent use, the Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack has held up surprisingly well. There are no signs of significant wear and tear, and the reeds still vibrate freely. I’ve been diligently cleaning the calls after each use and storing them in a dry place. This has certainly helped with maintaining their performance. Cleaning involves rinsing with warm water and letting them air dry.

Compared to my older diaphragm calls, the Quaker Boy SR-3Pack 3 pack requires slightly more care to maintain its crispness. It’s not quite as forgiving if you let it get too saturated. However, the ease of producing a realistic rasp and the overall consistency have been a definite upgrade. It outperforms my previous cheaper diaphragm calls significantly.
