Abstract: A game call is disclosed that includes a barrel having a mouthpiece end for receiving an air flow and an insert that fits into the end of the barrel opposite the mouthpiece end. The insert has a tone board and a reed that vibrates from the air flow, and one or more tactile elements positioned asymmetrically on a tail portion of the insert which extends 360° along a circumference of said tail portion. The circumference has a smooth portion without tactile elements and a tactile portion having the tactile elements. The tactile elements assist with finger positioning on the insert to allow for consistent and repeatable finger placement. The smooth portion preferably extends for more than 180° around the circumference of the tail portion and the tactile portion extends for less than 180° around the circumference of the tail portion. Preferably, the insert includes three or four tactile elements.
