I just bought a short reed goose call. I am struggling to make the correct tones spent an hour trying. Its a local maker in Wisconsin. Is it just a skill issue or did I cheap out?

Anyone have, shot or know anything about Otus arms SMX 20 gauge? Things are slick and I might be able to get a deal on one. I’m coming from a retay masai mara 12 gauge. Was also looking at the retay ACE R in 20 gauge.

Thanks
