FINAL GLIDE CHAMPIONSHIP CALLS

ANDY MISTER - PRO STAFF

I got my first duck call at only a few weeks old and have been blowing calls ever since I could figure out how to make a noise out of it. I started hunting at the age of seven when my father took me goose hunting for the first time and I still remember it as if it were yesterday.  Since then I have hunted all over Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay chasing Canada’s, snows, puddlers , divers, sea ducks and turkeys. I have also been fortunate enough to hunt in a few different states and annually in Saskatchewan. I have been guiding waterfowl hunts for guide services and private clubs for eight years and have learned so much in the process. For me the greatest reward in waterfowling is the time spent with my yellow labs Dory and Stella. I am very blessed to have met so many good friends who have taught me so much and for all the memories made. I feel very fortunate to be a part of Final Glide and look forward to the seasons ahead.

Born in 1973, I grew up in Reinholds, PA. I am currently living in Schoeneck, PA, with my wife of 13 years and 3 awesome children. I grew up rabbit and deer hunting with my dad, grandfather and brother. Recently, goose hunting has taken top priority over all other types of
hunting. I just can’t get enough I Have also added goose calling contests to my list of things that I really enjoy. What a rush to be up on that stage. Having a quality call, and call maker too how to shave your reed for best performance. With a quality team and call like Final GlideChampionship Calls you can’t go wrong.

CHARLES POWELL - PRO STAFF

I was born and raised in Danville, IL, located in east central IL. Growing up near the towns lake and river always had me interested in waterfowl. Constantly seeing and hearing the migrating birds fly around, I had to pursue. At the age of 13 I went out for the first time and was hooked. Now after chasing birds around IL and IN I know I am hooked for life. Now the proud owner of Goose Noose Lanyards, I have built a relationship with Final Glide Calls and look forward to this for many years.

JOHN CASEY - PRO STAFF

I’ve been an avid waterfowl hunter since 2007.  My career puts me in the kitchen on a daily basis and when not there I’m outside chasing after birds.  It’s a religious thing! I take this as a fulltime job.  I scout nonstop during and outside the season and that’s why we stack’em up every year.   I am known for my calling; I pick my calls up year round and keep busy during the off season by traveling around doing competitions and shows.  I have one win so far at the Betterton Fire Company Open Goose and hopefully many more to come along side Dave and Final Glide Calls. 

KEVIN MILLER - PRO STAFF

Kevin Miller of Altoona, Pennsylvania has been hunting waterfowl for 30 years.  He is married with 4 children and enjoys teaching his oldest son everything about the outdoors.  He looks forward to introducing his other children to the sport as well.  Kevin was introduced to the sport by his father when he was just old enough to wade through the duck marshes and walk through the woods.  He fell in love with hunting at a young age.  He also hunts turkey, upland birds, and enjoys archery hunting as well.  Additionally, he enjoys the challenge of training his own gun dogs for field trials and success in the hunt.  In his 30 years he has lived and hunted in numerous states, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Mexico, New York, Maryland, Texas, Wyoming and Colorado, among others.   While living in New Mexico, he guided for upland birds and waterfowl at K & R Ranches.   This experience embedded in him the dream of running his own guide services, leading to the creation of Allegheny Wingshooting, LLC.  He enjoys being able to teach others about the sport.  When Kevin is not hunting, he enjoys tournament bass fishing, fly fishing for trout, and spending time with his family.  He is blessed to be part of the Final Glide team and looks forward to many successful years with them.

ANDY WITMER - PRO STAFF

I'm from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  I have been hunting waterfowl for about 6 years now . I picked up a goose and duck call not knowing anything about them and went from there. Now I love calling ducks and geese in the cold winter months . People tell me all the time I'm crazy for sitting out there in the cold, rain and/or snow hunting waterfowl but I tell them with some good friends, the birds flying and my passion to hunt its an unbeatable combination. Fellow pro staffers, Jeremy Appel and Steve Megargee, introduced me to Dave and the Final Glide crew and I'm really glad they did because now I am a pround member of a great crew.  These guys and Final Glide Calls are awsome; they took me under their wing and are teaching me everything I ever wanted to know about waterfowl hunting . Thanks for bringing me aboard and letting me be a part of Final Glide.

JEREMY APPEL - PRO STAFF

Hello my name is Jeremy Appel aka Farley.  I was born March 31, 1986 in good old southern Lancaster County, within shooting range of the Susquehanna River. Growing up, living and working on farms I gained a whole new respect for hunting.  In the past 11 years, I’ve hunted everything in Pa. My specialty is waterfowl but I’m happy hunting whatever, whenever! I’ve been a big part of "Ruffneck Waterfowlers" since it started in 2007.  I really enjoy hunting with all the guys in the group and I’m looking forward to hunting and hanging out with all the guys from "Final Glide".  I am so grateful  to be aboard this awesome legacy that is "Final Glide".  I am looking forward to learning as well as bringing some of the experience that I have gathered over the years and helping to further promote "Final Glide". Remember, a bad day of hunting always beats a good day at work!

MATT ROBERTSON - PRO STAFF

My father got me started hunting when I was 5yrs old.  He would take me along so I could chase downed birds.  By the age of 12 he had promised to take me everyday, needless to say he kept his promise. He took me everyday before and after school for 5 years; This went on, until I could drive. Following high school I decided to move to Maryland’s Eastern shore to be a guide. I spent three seasons there, learning so much in the process.  I soon moved back to PA to continue guiding.  I am still guiding and hunting in Pennsylvania today.  I will always owe it all to my father, thanks dad. Good luck hunting and be safe. Young Guns Guide Service

REM TSHUDY - PRO STAFF

I was born here in southern Lancaster County.  I developed a love for the outdoors at a very young age while hunting in Rockhall, MD and here in PA.  Havesting my first deer at age 9, deer hunting became a huge passion of mine.  Three years later that passion was overtaken by the sport of waterfowling.  Now, thanks to Final Glide and this wonderful line of calls, I am calling and killing my own honkers.

SEAN SANDERSON - PRO STAFF

I was first introduced to the outdoors at the age of 6 by my father, Michael Sanderson. My job at that age was to collect every spent shotgun shell that was fired. Lets just say the smell of burnt powder, decoying birds, and Dad's maxwell house coffee was what I looked forward to day in and day out. I was born and raised along the Susquehanna River where I grew up a "River Rat", hunting and fishing every chance I could. I've met a lot of great people in the Waterfowl industry over the years and a lot of avid hunters as well. I'm fortunate to have opportunites to hunt in several different states and Canada. In my eyes, there is nothing better in this world than witnessing mother nature's full effects over a spread of decoys with some of the best friends you could ask for. Waterfowling is a true passion to me and its definately in my blood.  I'm very grateful to be apart of the Final Glide prostaff. Every season is a blessing. Good hunting to all!
