ATA Trade Show Trip for DCC
Derby City Calls had a booth in the innovations zone for this year’s ATA show. The trade show is an order writing event and is geared more to Archery, however, we had many people interested in checking out our high quality turkey calls. Derby City signed up 6 dealers who will carry our calls this spring. These dealers ranged from the deep South, up into the midwestern United States. We hope to have a dealer page set up for our visitors soon. This would allow you to drop in and check out what they have to offer if they are located close to you. Read more
Derby City Calls plays the Opry!!
Everyone here at Derby City knows that the secret to building a great sounding call is to start wtih instrument-grade hardwoods and old growth maple. Throw in years of experience building musical instruments and an ear for that good ole tone and your on the right track. Tony Wray, master luthier at First Quality Music also works with us here at Derby City. Tony is a professional musician and plays regularly on the Grand Ole Opry. Here are a few picutres of Tony with his good friend Mike Snider, also a regular on the Opry.

Derby City Calls featured in Turkey Country Magazine
JJ Reich did an article on the use of aluminum in the Turkey Calls section of this month’s Turkey Country magazine. Derby City is excited to be featured in this column. We are excited by the response we have received from turkey hunters all across the United States. Derby City prides itself in producing high quality calls that not only look great, but more importantly, sound great.
Derby City recently gained the NAHC Seal of Approval for our aluminum Magnum call. We take pride in being featured in Turkey Country magazine along with the other outstanding calls mentioned in the article. We strive to make calls that will help you fill your tags for years to come. There were many longbeards that were fooled into gun range by Derby City calls this past spring. We are anxiously waiting for the fall and spring turkey seasons to start up again.
Derby City will have our online ordering system available in the next 2-4 weeks. Until then, please call or e-mail us if you would like to place an order. (info@derbycitycalls.com or Jim @ 502-681-2866, Brent @ 502-777-8301).
Derby City…IT”S YOUR CALL!
The Future of Hunting
Many youngsters visited Derby City’s booth at the NWTF Convention. These young kids made for some of the most memorable moments at the convention. We loved to have them come by and play with our calls. Some played them like a pro and others have some practice ahead of them. The good things is that they all had a good time and all have an interest in hunting. We would like to say thank you to all the parents for instilling a desire to hunt in their children. The future of hunting lies in their hands, that is why we encouraged every kid who came by our booth to scratch on our calls. The picture of the little girl in this blog speaks for itself.
