Best Electronic Game Calls Reviewed and Tested
Standout Picks
Criteria Used for Evaluation
Value
Price is the first thing we looked at, which is a great way to determine value when comparing products with similar features. When looking at the top five products, you’ll notice that they all have a killer feature that separates them from the rest of the pack. We used pricing to remove any duplicate products on the list that didn’t offer anything special but had a higher price. The results were good and helped us find early standouts while organizing the top ten.
Ease of Use
The next thing that caught our eye was ease of use. This was split into two sections, with the first being out of the box use. Products were graded on how well they instructed the consumer to use their features. Ideally, a good product would have you up and running in a matter of minutes with its core features.
The second part of ease of use had to do with advanced users. Were the advanced features worth it for buyers that took the time to learn? With time, we felt that all users should be able to fully make use of the advanced features. This is where some products dropped, as their advanced features proved too difficult and were not worth the extra effort.
Durability
Durability was the next criterion and covered the main unit and any associated remote controls. There were no surprises here, as all of the products proved they were made for the hazards of the outdoors. There wasn’t a lot of movement when looking at this criterion, even when measuring the toughness of the remote controls. We saw some changes when we added ‘longevity’ as a key criterion to match up with durability. A lot of products on the list were rated higher for years of use, which is important when you consider the electrical components.
Brand
Brands are something we looked at, this time with a focus on customer service. This criteria ties in with ease of use and shows a company’s willingness to help customers when they were stuck with a feature. Not all customers call in for help, so to keep things balanced we also rated how easy the company made self-help guides available online. Primos was a big standout in this category by offering both old and new product information when needed. And if necessary, they had the best customer support of any product on the list.
Advanced Features
Styling was a criterion that we solely based on camo, so any of the products that were not in this category simply didn’t get points. For purposes of blending in, a quality camo casing is required. Some products did this better than others and really looked like a part of the environment they were placed in.
Styling doesn’t get as much recognition as it deserves for electronic game callers. When the main unit has to be placed in a remote location, blending in with the background can change how the game reacts when approaching it. And if you’ve equipped it with a compatible decoy, then you’ve instantly gained an extra few seconds.
