best lookin and accurate forms available. Can get them with drumsticks attached to make it ultra sturdy. McKenzie carrys them.
Ed,
I have been using Cally's forms for the past two years. A lot of compliments from customers on leg placement/accuracy. This year, I ordered two forms from Van Dykes by Randy Life w/ the drumsticks and 1/4" rod included. It will be interesting to see which technique is easier/more accurate.
Good Luck in your decision.

Cally bodys are some of the best, For struting turkeys there is no other bodys out there ! I mount over 100 turkeys a year on only his bodys the leg placment is just fine. Good luck.

I've never used either Cally Morris or Tim Jordan forms,Cally's seem to be in the majority, But i'll give them both a whirl, and see how they come out.Again... Thanks for the input.Our season opens here on saturday, with youth weekend,and goes full swing on the 3rd. Wont be long now,lol.Take Care, Best to you all. Ed
I am currently using Cally's forms, necks and freeze-dried heads and have been very pleased. I attended Harry Whitehead's seminar at the WTC and was impressed with some of the different features of his forms. The only place that had them at the WTC was Matt Thompson Supply or directly from Harry. I just mounted a full-strut longbeard on one of Cally's forms using Harry's mount techniques and was very pleased with the results.
if you are just looking for the fastest easiest way to get your birds done Cally's forms are the only way to go, used correctly puts out an awsome bird. Unless you have the foam and time to carve your own body to each bird which I recommend for competition birds.
