First, the duck call we recommend most to beginners: the Mallard Reaper. It’s hands down one of the easiest duck calls you’ll ever use. Here's what hunters love most about the Reaper:
- Great Tone. This double reed duck call features great tone from the high end to the bottom and is a perfect call for beginners — easy-to-use and great for sounding ducky right out of the blind.
- Best for Beginners. The double-reed construction and DELRIN soundboard make this duck call a cinch for new callers to learn with a little instruction and practice.
- Superior Durability. With its DELRIN construction, the Mallard Reaper duck call will hold up in harsh conditions year after year.
- Stylish. The dramatic, matte black body of the Reaper duck call features feathers etched on the band for a high-end look.
Of course, even beginners need a little variety. That’s why we’ve included the mother of all duck whistles in this collection — the Whistler's Mother, 4-in-1 duck whistle. The customer approved features of the 4-in-1 whistle:
- Insanely Loud. Whistler's Mother, 4-in-1 duck whistle is louder and easier to use than most duck whistles on the market today.
- Superior Durability. The Slayer duck whistle is crafted from the toughest, high-quality DELRIN material, which means it’ll stand up to the elements.
- Versatile, Season-Long Use. The Slayer duck whistle produces realistic vocalizations for four duck species: Drake Mallard, Pintails, Wigeons and Teals.
- Easy to Follow Tutorial on How to Use. The team at Slayer has created this short, easy-to-follow video on how to use the 4-in-1 duck whistle.
Next up is the FieldPRO waterfowl lanyard—a durable and convenient flat neckband lanyard, proudly American-made and available in green and camo. Its design keeps the material flush against your skin for a more comfortable fit. Built to last, this lanyard can hold up to six calls.
Last is the Slayer Field Dry Bag. Keep your goods safe and dry, no matter what Mother Nature has in store.

Great starter calls. My son wanted to learn to call ducks and was steered in the direction of slayer calls. So far he is loving the duck call, and will soon after mastering that will move on to goose.
I like the calls, there sounds and getting used them.
As expected
Worked great. Thanks for that introduction to calls.
Works perfectly and is easy to learn on.
Fantastic call easy to do everything on it now the hard part is trying to figure out the next call to buy
Works great. Great beginner set
Requested an expedited shipment of there beginner callers and duck whistle. Due to the shipping cost they sent me a 20% discount option and they jumped on the order immediately. I got the calls two days in before my hunt that and was enough time to get some practice in. Duck call was really easy to get going.
Great call, very little air needed. Would highly recommend
The goose call is horrible. there was no low end, have to use one whole breath for one honk with a ton of force. I had to re- tune it and its better but still not good. I should probably send it back.
The duck call is nice.
Good call for the price. It tends to crack if you put too much air so using as a finish call
Used last weekend while Resident goose hunting and had mallards pitch right into decoys! And talked to them on the water and they were responding!
Love this set get whay you need in one package
So easy to use
Bought the dagger reaper combo with the how to call taking my time working on the old fashioned double cluck but totally recommend the calls or the how to call. But only had them a couple weeks.
The calls are okay, definitely fit the price and the duck call is super raspy if thay is what you want
I bought two delrin double reed Mallard Reapers, one for each of my sons. I will give them as gifts in the near future. I am a 20+ yr duck hunter, but my boys are novice callers.
Both calls I received came in a nice call box with a call bag included. Both calls look and sound the same. Both calls blow well. The calls are what I consider medium/low volume calls and really blow easily and sound good with very little air.
Slightly raspy but have a clean bottom end for quiet quacks. They don't fall flat when you want to get quiet. They will "ring" for a highball call, but not as easily or as loudly as a good single reed.
These are both nice looking and sounding calls, especially for the price. They would be good for anybody, but will be very good for the novice caller as they are forgiving and don't take alot of air to run.
These are the first Slayer calls I've ever had my hands on and I'm glad I decided to give them a try.
I bought this call for myself to use and it is performing very well. I'm fairly new to duck hunting and a novice caller but I have been seeing improved success with this call. I also bought my son the starter combo and he is enjoying it as well.
Absolutely love this call set. It has been really simple to get the hang of. I would highly recommend this call to anyone. The buddy I hunt with is already looking to purchase one himself.
Got the call very quickly. I am a new duck hunter. I found this call easy to blow and is making my learning progress very quickly. I teamed my new call with the instructional calling series and I believe I am progressing well. Highly recommend both the call and the video series.
I recently listened to some podcast and they all talked about slayer calls and how easy they were to blow and how great they sounded. I was skeptical about it but thought id give it a shot and I ordered the mallard reaper to just see for myself. I have hunted waterfowl for 26 years and have pretty much always used Echo calls. Now with that being said I was simply blown away when my slayer call was delivered a few days ago. Not only is it extremely easy to blow it’s extremely ducky. Making a very versatile call whether its soft finishing quacks to extremely loud hail calls. I am now a HUGE fan of slayer calls and will be adding another one to my lanyard to replace the Echo that is on it. Thanks for a great product. I am now a believer in slayer calls

A great call for a beginner. I can almost make a decent sound as a new duck hunter with this call in just a couple weeks of learning.
Got my call in quick , communication was fantastic , and absolutely love the sound and how easy it is to use . Will be buying more in the future
I like it better than the DR-85, can’t wait to use it in the refuges!
The mallard reaper is an awesome call. The price point is affordable, quality is exceptional, and sound is top notch as well! Purchase this call, you will not be disappointed!
Great call, and affordable! Great authentic and consistent sounds. Very easy, my 5 year old son has been learning to call and can pick it up for an easy practice. This is a great piece.
A nice addition to my call lanyard. Blows easy and sounds great. Nice call for the price!
Purchased the Mallard Slayer and have been extremely pleased with it. Well built and easy to use. My kiddos were able to use the Mallard Slayer with ease. I’ll definitely snag more calls from Slayer! Great customer service as well:)
Solid call great for a beginner
As a beginner, I’ve taken a stab at my friend’s call and just couldn’t figure it out. I decided to purchase my own so I can practice. I purchased this one and it took almost zero effort! Fantastic call for beginners!
Ordered a call for my daughter for Christmas and the transaction was smooth ..the item arrived quick and the product is wonderful ...all Christmas day we had a duck in the house 🙂...thankyou Slayer for the great product ..I will definitely be using you all again and also would recommend this company to others !!
This call is incredible. It’s loud and has a good growl to it. This is definitely one of the ones to get if your looking for a good call for a good price.
