An avid waterfowler, Alex Sims has spent the last 20 years hunting, watching, and listening to wood ducks. He decided he needed a call that sounded exactly like the ducks he was hearing in the swamp. He set out with one goal, realism. After acquiring an old lathe from his cousin, he began turning calls. The first calls were anything but realistic. After trying, and failing multiple times Alex sought the advice of long time friend and call maker David Gaston. At first David stayed tight lipped about the art of call making, and told Alex that he would give him advice, but the sound, or tone would have to be Alex's own. David would remain tight lipped until all research and development was done, and only then would he give advice on fine tuning. Finally after many hours, and many calls Alex achieved what he was after. Being a machinist Alex has built every piece of tooling from his mandrels, to his jig himself. Each call is hand turned, tuned, and polished by Alex Sims.
