Mike Pahl
Pickerington, OH
1947-2022
 
Mike was a founding member of the CCAA as well as the second president of the club. He began making calls in the early 1980’s along side other founding members Howard Harlan, Ray Wight, Jack Wilson, and  Buddy Duke. Prior to making Arkansas style calls he dabbled in metal reed calls under the influence of Glynn Scobey. Mike very quickly moved away from metal reed calls and the majority of his calls were in the Arkansas style. This makes his metal reed calls very rare and sought out by collectors. The call features here is made of Westinghouse micarta and was scrimshawed by Sonny Bashore. Sonny still uses the original scrimshaw technique whereas many shrimshander’s have moved to power tools.
