Pro Staff of Wad Wizard Choke Tubes

Walker's Wad Wizard® Choke Tube System Pro-Staff

Bob has been involved in shooting and hunting since 1968 and started competitive skeet shooting in the NSSA from 1978-1988. He has earned over 25 Championship titles throughout his career. Bob is a top member of our pro staff and is heavily involved in the waterfowl industry. He spends as much time in the field as possible field-testing prototype products to bring to the marketplace.
"If you want to increase your kill ratio on waterfowl, turkey or upland game birds you need to experience first hand the knock down power of the Wad Wizard. While guiding throughout the season I only shoot back up on cripples, so my shots are sometimes 40 plus yards and my clients always comment as to what a great shot that was and so on. I tell them its the Wad Wizard, not me! I hunted this season with the new SWAT 12 tube and let me tell you, they got the name right! I won't shoot anything else in the field."

His motto is “Remember to make time to take a kid hunting”. Shown with Bob is his son Glenn.

Craig began hunting at a very young age, learning about the outdoors from his father. He has been hunting and guiding for 28 years and still has sleepless nights before a hunt. His interest in wildlife led him to the College of Natural Resources where he studied Fish and Wildlife. His studies and experience in the outdoors landed him the position of Boat Captain with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources near Kingsville, Ontario – home of the famous Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary. It is here that Craig began to expand his knowledge of hunting and calling waterfowl. Thanks to a few local waterfowlers, Craig’s calling improved and he soon began winning local competitions.

To date, Craig has won the South Western Goose Calling Championship 3 times, the Canadian Classic 4 times and the Canadian World 3 times, as well as numerous regional contests. He has never placed lower then 2nd in any goose calling competition in Canada and has several top 3 finishes in duck calling. After being retired from most Canadian Competitions by 2001, Craig began calling in the US where his success has continued with numerous top 5 finishes as well as a few wins.
Craig has appeared in hunting magazines, T.V. shows and waterfowl videos, most recently Black Foot Down which was filmed during his stay with St Lawrence Outfitters. His pursuit of waterfowl has taken Craig across many parts of North America, guiding and hunting with friends. In the off season he spends his time training his 2 retrievers, fishing, painting decoys or travelling to calling competitions across North America. His latest project has been the development of a signature series goose call with GK Calls. The “Canuck” is a short hunting call designed to fit the needs of most waterfowlers. Along with his call Craig produced a Short reed goose calling instructional CD “ALL GOOSE” covering everything from the basics to the more advanced sounds.

"Either guiding, filming a hunt or just hunting with my buddies, I rely on my Wad Wizard choke tubes all season long! I've never seen such consistently clean kills and "smack down" patterns in all my years of hunting. Whether it’s my 12 gauge or 20 gauge, all my guns are powered by the "Wizard"." Email Craig at goosin@sympatico.ca

A few accomplishments include:
3 time Canadian World Goose calling Champion
4 time Canadian Classic Goose calling Champion
Mississippi Valley Open Goose Calling Champion
2 time North American 2 Man Goose Calling Champion
Several other championships and top 5 finishes

"My grandfather introduced me to waterfowl hunting when I was in the 6th grade on his private land bordering the historic Illinois River. Ever since my first experience I was hooked. After years of hunting in Illinois, my pursuit of waterfowl has taken me across the entire state; chasing mallards in the northern most section, all the way to the goose capital of the United States in the southern tip. After hunting for a couple of years, my grandpa gave me one of his calls. I was instantly fascinated with the calling aspect of waterfowl hunting and had a great desire to learn to speak the language. I bought myself a cheap call and a tape and started from there. After countless hours of practice I started to become interested in contest calling and entered my first contest at the age of 15. From the beginning I wanted to be a competitive goose caller, but figured that I would have a brighter future in duck contests. After a couple years of competing in duck contests I began advancing in goose contests as well. Once I started having some success in goose contests, I gave up main street duck calling and switched my focus completely to goose calling.

"I am very lucky to have been born and raised in a hunting family in the waterfowl rich Columbia Basin of Washington State. From an early age, waterfowl hunting has always been my main interest. This interest has since spawned into a full time guiding job over the last five years. The pursuit of waterfowl has also allowed me to travel to many western states and also Alberta, Canada in search of ducks and geese. My interest in the calling aspect of waterfowl hunting has also led to me competing in contest calling. I have had many top three finishes in both duck and goose contests throughout the western United States including a top three finish in the Washington State goose contest the last three years, and with the help of Bob Alfieri and Giant Killer calls I have enjoyed increased success both on the stage and in the field. Another product that has had a great impact on my hunting success is the Wad Wizard choke tube. Since I began using the Supreme two years ago, I have noticed a significant decrease in the number of cripples. When I am guiding I often shoot back up on cripples and the Wad Wizard allows me to knock down birds that otherwise would have been lost. I spend five months a year chasing waterfowl and I am hard on my equipment, and the Wad Wizard® has definitely passed the test. My Wad Wizard® Supreme is an essential piece of my hunting equipment, whether I’m hunting turkeys, geese, ducks or doves; I won’t shoot a gun without one." Email Chad at duckcallinkid@hotmail.com

Richard was first introduced to waterfowl hunting by his father at the age of five. 37 years later he and his dad are still the best of hunting partners. The newest addition to their group is Richards' 8 year old daughter Jordan who, at the age of 4 carried her first goose out of the corn fields and has been going ever since. Now at 8 she has been sea duck hunting for 3 seasons. Rich grew up on the coast of Maine which is notably one of the most famous destinations if you are looking to hunt Eiders and Scoters. Richard currently owns and operates Downeast Sea Ducks and spends about 75 to 80 days a year on the ocean in pursuit of the largest duck in North America. He is also a member of the Maine Professional Guides association as well as Ducks Unlimited. Richard has successfully mastered the art of hunting sea ducks and specializes in only sea ducks. Rich has been shooting Wad Wizard Tubes since they first appeared on the market and currently has one in every shotgun he owns from Auto 5s to Super Black Eagles and Xtremas. Being successful comes from confidence that your equipment is first class and performs at its best each day out. If you see Rich you will without question see only a Wad Wizard® in his gun.

Guiding waterfowl hunters for the last 10 years has taught me many valuable things. When I started hunting, I used a Browning 10 gauge . I started with a BPS and upgraded to a 10 Gauge Gold 12 years ago. I spent a lot of money on choke tubes/ shot combinations to achieve the tightest pattern possible. I found the best results with the WW STUD-10. After conducting tests with factory tubes and other after market chokes, the WW was the hands-down winner. The STUD-10 is almost a sure thing, with the most shot on-target and tight patterning . While guiding I am often called on for "clean up", It’s lights out with the Wad Wizard. I continually see people swat the water with ineffective patterns and wonder how they hit any birds at all? It has certainly improved my performance and it will help yours, too. It is a real pleasure to be associated with such a quality product. Contact Troy at troydautermann@yahoo.com

"I love to hunt ducks and geese, primarily Canada’s and mallards. I was lucky to be introduced to the sport at a young age and the passion has stuck with me ever since. I have been hunting waterfowl for 14 years now. I live in Walkerton Ontario and I am a fulltime guide with Grey Bruce Outfitters guiding waterfowl and turkey hunts. I am out in the field guiding anywhere from 60-80 days a year. I need all the help I can get when shooting cripples at longer ranges than most, my Wad Wizard® is the key to my success. I have seen a dramatic decrease in the amount of cripples and also you can gain a few more needed yards on wary birds. As a guide it beats running 150 yards to run down someone else’s crippled bird.

In the spring when turkey hunting takes over I use the same choke that I used all fall to hunt waterfowl. The patterns are extremely effective and the best part is that my Wad Wizard never leaves the end of my gun.
I love the outdoors and I am always looking for a buddy to go out for a day in the field with, whether it be guiding or just hunting with some old buddies, if the seasons are open chances are I am out there.

In 2005 I became a pro-staffer with GK calls. I have hunted with my Wad Wizard Supreme for two years now. I can't see myself ever taking it back out of the end of my 12 gauge no matter what season it is. Wad Wizard® chokes have been by far the best thing that has happened to my shooting and I am grateful for being able to use them. In the off season I spend most of my time training my dogs, fishing and traveling to hunt tests. Email Luke at luke_scherders@hotmail.com

George Lynch grew up in Southern Michigan hunting and fishing all his life. Also from an early age his father took the time to teach him every competitive sport that would fit into their schedules. George, learning this competitive spirit from an early age, wanting and striving to be the best, carried with him throughout his life. This continuous drive and desire for excellence of winning and being a part of a winning team is why George is proud to be part of the Wad Wizard Pro Staff.

In the year 2000 this competitive drive helped him win the title of Michigan State Goose Calling Champion, his first ever-calling contest. Always looking for something better is the reason George developed his own line of calls named Lynch Mob Calls. A nickname given to him earlier in his career by a neighboring Ohioan named Fred Zink, who he had worked with in a guiding operation in southern Michigan.

The call business has given him many opportunities to travel and hunt all over the country as well as Canada and to meet fellow hunters from all over. He has judged many large sanctioned calling contests as well as doing goose calling and hunting seminars for large companies such as Sportsman’s Warehouse, Cabelas, and Gander Mountain. His goose hunts have been shown in many newspaper articles, magazines, along with doing TV shows.

George is a serious waterfowler along with Turkey and Bow hunting Deer. In 2004 he co-partnered in a guide service running Whitetail hunts in Iowa where his clients killed many world-class animals. He also did a TV show with John Risinger and Matt Moore called Closing the Distance, with Matt killing a 148” 8 point on the first day of the hunt on a piece of property George discovered only 2 days prior.

George has 3 children - Brooke who is a college student, studying to become a teacher, Adam who is a student at Evangel University in Springfield MO studying to become a minister and Lauren who is 15 goes to Lenawee Christian High School and enjoys playing Volleyball. Adam is also playing baseball for EU and is starting as a freshman.

George strongly believes that family should be a main priority in our lives, and instilling good morals and honest ethics along with strong character is obtained through example. George believes it is the same for our future young hunters that are starting today. He believes we, as respected and seasoned hunters should set the benchmark as to why we hunt and to respect all game laws. He believes that this type of professionalism to our sport and game laws is a key essential to managing our resources.

One of George’s goals is to produce instructional videos that can teach young and old alike on the true professionalism of our sport. This is why George is proud to be part of the Wad Wizard team that strives for perfection in product and in character.

Jeremy Abbas

Chasing birds from his first duck harvest at the age of 7, that is what’s been going on. Starting his lifelong passion on the small marshes of Hancock County with his brother Jason and his dad is where it all began. Even after sinking the boat during a tornado on his first hunt, the need to get under every duck and goose he could would not be dashed. Jeremy grew up in Kanawha, Iowa where he attended school thru graduation. He then attended Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge Iowa where he majored in Law Enforcement while playing 2 years of college baseball. After school Jeremy was hired on with a security service where he worked for 5 years. Knowing he needed more time to get to the blind a career change was in order. Jeremy is currently the COO and Sales and Marketing manager for Lynch Mob Calls Inc.

Jeremy starts his waterfowl season every year in Saskatchewan Canada and hunts multiple areas in the Mississippi Flyway during the season. The cornfields of Iowa is where most of Jeremy’s action takes place, and where he calls home, but has been fortunate to hunt in many other areas where he has met some of the nicest folks in the industry. Jeremy is also very excited to be a Pro-Staff member of Avery Outdoors/GHG and Lynch Mob Calls, Inc.

Some of Jeremy’s passions within the industry include serving on his local Ducks Unlimited Board, Taxidermy, and the exciting life of photography, which is one of the roles he takes on with Avery Outdoors. Along with that he enjoys training his hunting dogs and spending time with his two young sons in the outdoors. Jeremy resides on acreage outside of Clarion Iowa with his wife Sara, and their two young sons, Tanner and Reed.

Whatever the species we are hunting, one thing is a must for us and that is the quality and dependability of our hunting equipment. Whether it’s clothes, decoys, guns, trailers, etc we demand optimum performance, this is why we stand behind the Wad Wizard brand. From the SWAT over decoys for medium range up to the bad boy of tubes, the Supreme, for big honks and Turkeys, the Wad Wizard tubes are always on the road with the Lynch Mob Team. Feel free to contact Jeremy at jeremya@averyoutdoors.com anytime.

I consider myself very fortunate in life. It all began in 1989 when my dad took me on my first duck hunt and I have been hooked ever since. I feel it’s important to give back to the sport I love and the outdoors, this is why I have been a Ducks Unlimited volunteer for the past 18 years in Province of Quebec.

I’m married to a very UNDERSTANDABLE wife who gave me 3 magnificent children, who knows "how to deal" with the obsession of a waterfowler and who puts up with one of my passions, which is calling. But my #1 priority and passion is still my family.

My first choice in waterfowl hunting, without a doubt, is the honker! I had the chance to hunt in 3 different Provinces, but big mallards and black ducks at the end of the season are hard to beat! Ducks will always be my first love.

I was a guide for 5 years for outfitters and on my own for Canada geese. I also owned a small waterfowlers pro-shop. Over the years I gave seminars and private lessons for duck and goose calling. Today I concentrate more on my family, with 3 kids, they take a lot of my time! But it is well worth it. I still do some calling lessons from time to time.

Thanks to everyone who helped me along the road. A wise person told me one day, "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world". This is so true, I think you get from life what you give.

Thank you, Lorie and Wad Wizard, you gave me a ¨unfair advantage¨ over the game, like you say it’s DRT performance! Contact Brian at brianbergeron@hotmail.com

"The first thing I ever shot with my gun was a duck! Ever since I've been hooked. My passion is all things outdoors, but waterfowl are special to me. They are greatest challenge and variety as well as the scenery at dawn or dusk."

"Although busy with my competitive clay shooting, I like to spend as many days in the field as possible and introduce people to the sport. During the year I am away competing in World Cups and selection events, but when waterfowl season rolls around I'm headed to the marsh!"

Shooting since the age of 14, he's gone on to take medals as a County Champion in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.

"This season is my first with the Wad Wizard, but on my first trip out I finished up with three left and rights at mallard,teal and gadwall and one of the gadwall was banded! The Supreme tube took care of everything and produced consistent clean kills to harvest these early season birds. I only use products that can be relied upon when hunting in the field.

I was introduced to the sport at an early age and it has consumed every spare moment in my life for the last 21 years. I first tried a Wad Wizard 4 years ago and could not believe the results. I immediately called Lorie and purchased a SWAT Tube. The SWAT tube has not been out of the gun since I got it. From early season honkers in Ontario to the late February season these chokes do exactly what the ad says "Dead Right There. The performance is very consistent and just another tool that I will not go to the field without. I recently took up turkey hunting and the gobbler didn't stand a chance. I got a Supreme tube and now have a gun just for turkey hunting. Wad Wizard is a company that meets all shooters needs from fowl, pheasants, turkeys and even on the trap range; Wad Wizard Choke tubes get it done.

Brent Nadeau
Quebec, Canada

Brent is from Old Fort Bay, Quebec - a small fishing village on the Straight of Belle Isle. Growing up in a setting where hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities are a given, he developed an enthusiasm for hunting at the age of 7, when he went on his first eider hunt with his father. Over the subsequent years, this enthusiasm has developed into a full-blown obsession, and Brent now spends what time he can hunting or practicing calling.

Brent has guided a variety of game hunts, from northern Quebec to northern Alberta, but prefers to focus on the migratory bird populations of western Quebec and eastern Ontario these days, so he can enjoy his passion while close to his wife and children. Apart from his eagerness to develop his craft as a hunter, Brent is actively working to become a competitive goose caller.

A gun and shooting enthusiast, Brent was very eager to try out the Wad Wizard line of products based on the rave reviews they enjoy. Needless to say, they did not and do not disappoint! The technology of the Wad Wizard chokes present a win-win scenario - they provide ethical and lethal patterns in a short shot burst, while limiting the stress endured by one's gun barrel, and a hit bird looks like it was slapped by the hand of God. The performance and quality of these fine tools is rivalled only by the quality of customer service Lorie offers, and are the reasons Brent is proud to count himself a member of the Wad Wizard team.

I'm a gun maker in the north of France starting in business in 2004. My store specializes in waterfowl hunting (GHG and Ure-A-Duck Decoys, Bill Saunders calls, Wad Wizard Chokes). I’ve been hunting waterfowl for the past 7 years. I'm fascinated with Specklebelly hunting. I hunt with a Benelli Vinci and Stoeger 2000 with Wad Wizard Supreme and Swat. I was so happy with the performance of these tubes in my guns that I now provide the distribution of them to the country of France.
