Jimmy Schaffer 43 years old, married to his wife Stacey with two children ages 4 and 7, and resides in Oak Ridge, New Jersey. Jimmy has fished and hunted as long as he can remember. Jimmy has competed in dozens of .B.A.S.S. Tournaments during the early 90s and has received many awards, plaques, trophies and cash prizes.
Jimmy now owns and operates a custom cabinet business. Through his craft he launched a new venture called Oak Ridge Custom Calls, hand making custom Turkey calls one call at a time. This started as a hobby, but due to high consumer demand, it has evolved into another full time business.
Jimmy has competed in several national NWTF call maker competitions, against some of the best call makers in the country, and has been fortunate enough to have taken several awards including "Best of Class" on several occasions. As a call maker, Jimmy is constantly striving to create the most realistic sounding calls available. His true love is to take a piece of raw wood from old barn beams, or fence posts, and create a call that can be taken into the woods to fool that ole’ gobbler. You’ll find Jimmy every year at all the top turkey calling events.
When Jimmy’s not fabricating calls in the shop or hunting turkeys in the spring, you’ll find him at the local 3D Shoots, scouting and hanging stands in preparation for bow season. He takes his whitetail bow hunting equally as serious as his call making. Jimmy has taken several Pope & Young class deer through the years, and has no intention of stopping there.
