Best Strikers
« on: August 14, 2017, 04:59:50 PM »
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

Another vote for Stuckey and Lyman. I would feel lost without my Stuckey mac ebony though.

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.

Is Harold Fowler on this site ?

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