Russell Beard makes a good one.

The laminate strikers from Woodhaven are very good but expensive (about $30 now).  Sometimes you can find a good deal on a used one.

dad's strikers and woodhaven strikers are both basicly the same as the original "pete" peters strikers....and woodhaven being the fabricators of the striker before they became a well known call company.....both are essentially the same...you can take a dial caliper to the original "pete" striker....and compare....

I've got a bunch, seems Jimmy's from Oak Ridge Custom Calls make every one of my calls sound better.

I've got one from Mr. Harold and one from Mr. Wendell. Both run. One piece of advice on that material. If you know how to really put pressure on a friction call, properly, and get the sound out of it, dymondwood has a tendency to slip some. It sounds good put will slip. Just 2 pennies worth of advice.

derrick stuckey. stumbled on his strikers last year. started with 2 now own 14. all one piece. I like Harold fowlers strikers. I like a heavier striker and derricks fit the bill. I still own some of mr fowlers strikers , and they run nice but derricks just fit me better.

My fowler is my favorite lights out is good and holloran one piece is awesome the way he turns the head anyone can run it but my woodhaven strike 3 is the striker I can use on any call any surface this is my 2 cents also Sadler won all his stuff with the woodhaven too if I remember correct if you want to get one that's cheap to see how if you like them the one that david sends with his call is a good one

I have an original Pete Peters striker that I wouldn't part with for any amount. I also have two of Dad's copies that sound very good as well. They seem to work equally well on glass or slate.
