Foxpro will offer "FOX Bang" it will work on tx-500 remote callers and will ship standard on their 2 new models, will be available for other units having TX 500 remote.
You set your preset 1 sound and when you shoot it responds by automaticly playing that sound on preset 1 at the preset volume level!!!! No need to take your eye away from the line of sight and on doubles or triple coyotes I see this as a great idea. You shoot coyote #1 and 2 and or 3 will instantly hear coyote pup in distress or any other sound you put into preset bank #1.
I will have this feature installed on my cs-24's when available, price to retro fit is not yet avilable, but should be reasonable?

My Gawd!!!! They've made a call with 'The Clapper' (as seen on TV) installed. Probably a good idea but it's kind of sad to see technology replacing skill with a call. <sigh>
And no............I'm NOT down on FoxPro; I own & have been known to use an old 416.

At risk of drawing fire, I have to agree, Koko. I am a Minaska MAD guy, and I see the merit in the FoxBANG feature, but how far do we dumb this game down and still call someone a coyote hunter? Hell, my e-callers have features on them now that I don't use. Too old school, I guess. If my caller had a digital clock on it, I'm pretty sure it would blink 12:00 all the time. LOL
In the end, it's an interesting feature and I applaud the Dillons for their innovation. As for me? I can walk and talk at the same time and don't need all the crutches to help me get the job done. For those that do... have at it and have fun.

It would be kinda nice if my machine could fry some bacon and eggs. You can't throw yourself under the wheels of progress, Lance.
Right now, my caller can sign on to my Facebook page with every shot, with updates and a YouTube uplink. I mean I don't know how to utilize it, but the machine has that app built in. How cool is that? It's just nice to have; ya know?
Good hunting. LB

There are many features that I don't use, but this is one that simply makes alot of sense. If you have a double in and shoot the first one whats the first thing you do? Doesn't matter even if you are a hand caller, you hammer on the old ki yi and try to get the other coyote(s) to stop. Makes a ton of sense to not have to look down or hit the remote.
Trust us Lance, We're glad your a MAD fan! But you do seem to try to dig at FoxPro every chance you get.

How about a feature where at the sound of the shot, a chorus of voices loudly proclaim "DAMN FINE SHOT!!!!!!" with the onset of End-Zone Dance music. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Koko, You can load any sound or song you want to play at the sound of the shot. Your pick!

I think this is a great idea too. I don't own an e-caller but slap the guy on the back that thought this one up.

It's been my experiance that FoxPro makes pretty good stuff, and when there is a problem, they stand behind it & make it right. Your mileage may vary.

I asked Mike if he could make a CS24 do this last November. He said no problem.
I have not sent my call in yet for the upgrade, but I will.
Glad to see Foxpro offer this feature as standard on some of the ecalls.
Stay after them

Proably not Leonard, also what about the guys that are useing suppressures??
Its a good idea though but you don't need to respond with a coyote in distress right after the shot, you can play it a few minutes later and still have results..
And what happens if Koko lets a big fart ripp on stand while a coyote is comeing in??? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Using a pup in distress or the coyote death cry upon shooting the male durring denning season which a high majority is the first coyote in, will add to the pile No doubt and again not having to worry about it and making a good second shot will be great, no head movement and stay on the rifle and shotgun I see it as a positive and inovative technology.
Tim how many are using suppersors? Next all depends on how senstive FOX Bang is as even a suppressed center fire still makes noise, far more than a .22 rimfire, so hard to tell but for the majority it will be an added advantage. I guess another one of those bells and whistles Ol' Bill never thought of LOL!
Doesn't matter fox bang or E call or high quaility sounds one still has to be in the correct area, have a good setup and be able to shoot under pressure to do well at calling, so I don't see this as something eroding away calling. Hand calls will always have a place and time in calling, but just another tool in the tool box, which was a great idea IMO.

They are not allowed here but in S.D. I know a hand full of guys useing them and more popping up around the country where legal. It seems to be the newest fad going on if you got the cash for the suppressor and the lic. to have it.
Is the sound sensor in the remote or is it installed in the caller?? If in the caller I guess they could sit closer to the caller so it can pick up the sound to trigger it..

Alright, Cal, I'll bite.
Just how many times have I taken digs at Foxpro? I can recall one, which wasn't really a dig, as you call it. And, Mike and I settled the miscommunication over that shortly after I made my remarks. Other than that, I don't recall saying anything bad about them.
So, again, you suggest that I hit Mike and Steve and their product at every turn.
Any evidence to back that up?

Elbee, screw the YouTube. My Ultimate One logs on after every shot to my facebook page and lets everyone knows I shot at something. Now, if I can only get it to quit talking trash on me when I miss...
