Cowboy was the first Texan and first double reed contestant to win the World&#8217;s Duck Calling Championship in Stuttgart, Arkansas in 1959 using the double reed Yentzen Caller. And others followed, winning World Championships with this Yentzen Caller as well. He was well known for his calling prowess and won numerous regional and international competitions. Fernandez was inducted into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was only room in this world for one Cowboy Fernandez,\u201d explained Charlie Holder, current owner of Sure-Shot Game Calls in a press release. \u201cHe will be sorely missed. We greatly appreciate all of the support, messages, and well wishes from the friends and fans of Sure-Shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Sure-Shot\u2019s complete line of game calls, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/sureshotgamecalls.com\/\" campaign=\"SureShotGameCalls\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">www.sureshotgamecalls.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>About Sure-Shot Game Calls:<\/h2>\n<p>The 60+year old company was founded by James \u201cCowboy\u201d Fernandez and George Yentzen in Nederland, Texas in the early 1940s. After many prototypes, their first product, the 1950 Yentzen Caller, became the very first patented double-reed duck call introduced to the marketplace. In 1959, Cowboy Fernandez entered several duck calling competitions and both he and the Yentzen Caller became world class champions. Charlie Holder purchased the company in 2011. Today, Sure-Shot offers over two dozen game calls for waterfowl, predator, deer and turkey.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_95935\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Cowboy_Memorial_CC.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"sure-shot-game-calls-james-cowboy-fernandez\" title=\"Founder of Sure-Shot Game Calls, James 'Cowboy' Fernandez Passes Away\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95935\" title=\"Founder of Sure-Shot Game Calls, James 'Cowboy' Fernandez Passes Away\" class=\"size-full wp-image-95935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Cowboy_Memorial_CC.jpg\" alt=\"Founder of Sure-Shot Game Calls, James 'Cowboy' Fernandez Passes Away\" width=\"630\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Cowboy_Memorial_CC.jpg 630w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Cowboy_Memorial_CC-117x150.jpg 117w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Cowboy_Memorial_CC-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-95935\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">James &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; Fernandez, 1959 World Champion Duck Caller.\u00a0(<em>Photo: Sure-Shot<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sad news to report, James &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; Fernandez, the co-founder of Sure Shot Game Calls, passed away last week at the age of 86 in Beaumont, Texas.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":95922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111,240],"tags":[132,617],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-95921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-industry-news","8":"category-this-week","9":"tag-buzz","10":"tag-industry-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Founder of Sure-Shot Game Calls, James &#039;Cowboy&#039; Fernandez Passes Away<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sad news to report, James &quot;Cowboy&quot; Fernandez, the co-founder of Sure Shot Game Calls, passed away last week at the age of 86 in Beaumont, Texas.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/sure-shot-game-calls-james-cowboy-fernandez\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Founder of Sure-Shot Game Calls, James &#039;Cowboy&#039; Fernandez Passes Away\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sad news to report, James &quot;Cowboy&quot; Fernandez, the co-founder of Sure Shot Game Calls, passed away last week at the age of 86 in Beaumont, Texas.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/sure-shot-game-calls-james-cowboy-fernandez\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-08-20T21:01:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-31T16:43:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_2046.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"669\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"805\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
