I am relatively new to duck hunting.  So far I love it. I have a few calls, but Ijust bought my first “nice” duck call, an RNT short barrel.  This call has been great.  I primarily bought the call to introducemyself to a single reed call to practice as much as possible.  However, the gold part of the call, near thecenter, is loose after owning the call for only two weeks.  It wobbles easily when pushed or pulled.  I don’t think it affects the sound, but shouldI send the call back? I really don’t want to because I want to practice as muchas possible before the season starts.  Onthe other hand I am conflicted, because it is an expensive call and I should havea product that is soundly put together for the money.  Should I send the call back, or is it commonfor this part of the call to become loose after some use?

Thanks for any feedback!

haha thanks for clarifying the terminology for me!  Ok, so it has been dry here for the last week, no rain.  Starting last night, through this morning it has been raining.  The band is now tight on the call.  Is this common for wooden calls to swell like this with more humidity?
