In you guys opinion. What are some of the best strikers around? A striker you would not go to the woods without. I know certain strikers go best with certain pots. Just looking for a few names of people that make good strikers. I've got a couple Lonnie Sneed pots coming. Hot hen and outlaw hen. Any advice for those two pots would be greatly appreciated but really wanting to know some of yalls favorite striker/pot combos . Thanks
Bill Lyman and Derrick Stuckey. My two favorites hands down.
Another vote for Stuckey and Lyman. I would feel lost without my Stuckey mac ebony though.
How do you get in contact with those two? I've seen their names come up a lot
Mr. Bill is callmakerman on here but he's currently not taking orders. Derrick is obsessioncustomcalls on eBay!
Harold Fowler is all I care to use!

Lyman, Stuckey, Harold Fowler, Steve Torman and Brad Roberts,all make good strikers.Bill Lyman and Steve Torman are not building as we speak.Harold Fowler has a wide selection,and he gets them out to you pretty quick.
I'll throw another in for Bill Lyman. I just got a persimmons from him a few days ago that I really like on slate.

Is Harold Fowler on this site ?
Order yourself a group of strikers from Derrick Stuckey off of eBay as already suggested!
I'm not kidding..... Take their advice. I just did, and my package arrived today.
I received:
Amazon Rosewood
Dogwood
Tulipwood
Purpleheart - Straight Tip
Santos Zebra Dymondwood
Stuckey has a ton of Dymondwood styles and Dymondwood strikers are arguably some of the most versatile as for surfaces, so definitely pick out one of those you like. Two others you must have are Macassar Ebony and Tulipwood, I already had the Mac Ebony and wanted the Tulipwood, so I ordered a group. One of my new favorite strikers is definitely the Straight Tip Purpleheart, pick a few of his out as they're cheap, I GUARUNTEE you will not regret it.

No sir, not that I am aware of. Here is his site and speaking to him is worth the effort.

Steve Torman. :icon_thumright:
Fowler,Lyman or Matt McClain all make a really good striker. Try one of Matt's black locust.
Lyman, Torman, Dad, Fowler
Some of my favorites-
Lyman Dymondwood and snakewood
Dad's monkeywood
Woodhaven birch laminate
lonzo one piece or two piece dymondwood
Thanx to everyone for the kind words on my work. I am up and turning to clear some of the back log I had during my break. Thanx for the understanding.
I just got a outlaw hen from Lonnie the other day and, going through my strikers it seemed like a Holloran Jatoba sounded the best to me. That said, to be honest, it'll be hard to beat Lonnie's purpleheart striker that he sends with the call.
Another guy who makes a pretty sweet striker that sounds great on Lonnie's glass is a Matt VanCise diamondwood. He'll whip you one up in a day or so...
After hearing so much about Stuckey strikers I just received 3 of them today and they are dandy strikers. I got the Macasser Ebony,Tulipwood and monkey pod. I do plan on trying some other guys as well. I need to get me a Lyman and Torman next.
