Here at Southbound Outdoors, our mission is to enhance your time in the outdoors by designing, developing, and producing innovative products for outdoor enthusiasts. We strive to give you better results, improve your comfort, and make every outdoor experience more memorable. We recognize time spent in the outdoors is rare and valuable. By using the latest technology, creative ideas, and exhaustive field research, we deliver products with world class performance. Our passion for excellence will always drive us to deliver these products with quality, style, and aesthetic appeal that makes you proud to be part of the SBO community.
When you’re in the great outdoors, you need your equipment to perform consistently. The SBO process is designed to deliver the best products possible.
Creating a game call with realistic sound, high-end aesthetics, and best-in-class ergonomics requires a repeatable, consistent process. As we were developing our line of game calls, we turned to technology early to ensure repeatable quality in our calls. All parts of the call are modeled in CAD and cut on a CNC-style machine. By using a CNC-style machine, we can achieve very consistent quality in our calls. The aesthetic profiles, ergonomic finger grooves, fit tolerances, and sound boards are all cut on the CNC, meaning you’ll get calls with consistent sound, feel, and look.
Although we rely on technology to provide you with consistent product quality, we still hand-finish and hand-tune each and every call. Rest assured, no call leaves the SBO shop without being carefully tuned and polished by our experienced call maker. If we won’t put it on our lanyard, we’re not going to sell it, period. By the time a call goes out our door, it’s beautifully finished, comfortably contoured, and delivers sounds as close to nature as you can find.
Here at Southbound Outdoors, we love being in the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, camping, it’s all we think about. However, given the constraints of life, the amount of time we get to spend in the outdoors is limited. Therefore, we strive to make each and every minute of outdoor activity the best it can be.
Dave Jordan
Chief Executive Officer/Master Call Maker
Dave has a true engineer’s mind and has a degree from NC State in Electrical Engineering. He has always enjoyed inventing and making things from furniture to circuits. A few years ago, he was looking at a turkey call one day and said to himself “I bet I can make that. Not only can I make it, but I bet I can figure out how it works, and make it better!” Dave walked out to his wood shop, and Southbound Outdoors was born.
Brian Burress
Chief Financial Officer
Brian and Dave met through work several years ago. They soon realized they shared many interests including hunting and fishing. As Dave progressed into making awesome game calls, they decided to team up and form an actual business. Brian manages most of the legal, accounting, and other aspects of the business so Dave can focus on manufacturing and new product development for the SBO community. Brian also manages the SBO Field Staff and SBO Pro Staff programs.
