Abstract: An apparatus 10 and method for calling game animals when a user is hunting with a bow or a gun. The apparatus operates hands-free and includes a flexible conduit 24 that extends between a mouthpiece 12 and a game-attracting call assembly 30 that is operable when the user ingests air through the mouthpiece 12. The call assembly 30 includes an air-actuated sound-producing member 34 which is attached to the user's clothing. The apparatus 10 permits the user to initiate a game-attracting call without discernable movement of his or her upper body.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for calling game animals when a user is hunting with an archery bow. The apparatus comprises a main body connectable to the archery bow, and a conduit. A first end of the conduit is attached to the main body, and a second end of the conduit is attached to a bow string of the archery bow. A game attracting call can thereafter be produced when the user either draws or blows air through the conduit, such as by causing a reed in the main body to vibrate. Preferably, a nipple is connected between the main body and the first end of the conduit, and extends at about a 15 degree angle to a longitudinal axis of the main body. The nipple is rotatable with respect to the main body through a full 360 degrees to allow the first end of the conduit to be swung away from interference with other accessories of the bow.

Abstract: An inspection device for evaluating the inside surface of a barrel of a firearm is disclosed. The inspection device comprises a casing, a lightbulb and battery contained within the casing, and a light diffusion assembly. The light diffusion assembly includes an annular portion connected to one end of the casing through which light may pass, and an opaque cap portion connected to the annular portion through which light may not pass. When the inspection device is introduced into the chamber of a firearm into which ammunition is normally loaded, the lightbulb begins to burn. Light is directed by the lightbulb substantially through the annular portion of the light diffusion assembly to fall radially on the interior surface of the barrel. Visual inspection of the barrel is thereby facilitated without temporarily blinding the eyes of an observer. Also disclosed is a method using this inspection device for inspecting the barrel for residue or defects.
