I recently ordered my first Harold Fowler strikers and they should be here tomorrow. Any suggestions on your favorite ones? I ordered two more yesterday after Harold told me these were two of the strikers he would never hunt without in his vest, a 2pc with an Apitung stem and Osage head, and a 2pc with snakewood stem and Rosewood head. The type of head is simply for adding weight and balance to the striker. Both of these, along with purpleheart, give you the necessary weight for these lighter stems. My first order was a 3 pc special and also a one pc Ipe. I really enjoyed talking to him and we ended up talking about family. I told him we had a special child with Autism and that he had multiple heart surgeries before age 3. To my surprise, the next time I talked to Harold, he told me he had added my son to their prayer list at church. He also shared with me his battle against Cancer, or the big C as he called it. He did get a good report last week and doesn't have to go back for a year. He is a fine fellow and I can't wait to try his strikers. Any more favorites or got to have ones out there?
Harold's strikers are definitely some of the best you can get but he is an even finer man. Congrats on the strikers and getting to know him.
Jody, Heard nothing but good things about his strikers, when you get them let me know what you think. Scoot
Without a doubt one of the finest strikers made in my opinion. One of his ivory tipped striker's is in my vest along with various others no matter what type of pot call I am running, very well balanced excellent strikers!
After one phone conversation or visiting with in person you will agree that he is as genuine as they come..

Jody, you and I are on the same page right now with strikers, first the McLains and now the Fowlers... I just ordered 3 from Harold, all 1 piece, osage, bloodwood, and cocobola... Mine should be here any day as well!
Harold makes great strikers. I have several painting ones and a few antler and ivory tips.
??? HOW CAN I GET IN TOUCH WITH HAROLD. THANKS

Those are some awesome looking strikers
You may find a better striker but you will not find a better person. I got my first striker from him over 15 years ago and am proud to still own it and a lot more.
Very nice looking strikers! Is there a benefit or a better sound from the call when using a ivory tip striker? Does it work on all surfaces?
