Title: Best callmaker to get strikers from?
Post by: wjones15 on April 23, 2017, 09:00:30 PM
I lost my favorite striker in the woods last weekend.  It was made out of diamond wood.  I would like to get a couple made out of different woods.  Who are some contacts people?

I have a striker from (West Augusta) Steve Torman and plan on getting more. It's a queenwood striker and it sounds good on my pots.

Harold Fowler. ....He isn't a callmaker, but makes a mighty fine striker...

And Derrick Stuckey, goes by Obsession calls on ebay.  Makes a very nice striker as do the others mentioned.

Derrick Stuckey and Harold Fowler are the best I've tried without a doubt.
Get yourself a tulipwood, ipe, katalox, and a persimmon from both of them and call it a day.

I've got strikers from several of the well known makers, and I think it's hard to beat the strikers made by Derrick Stuckey.

Harold Fowler, Dad's (Dewey Johnson), Fred Cox, Derrick Stuckey, Wendell Rye, Andy Kaiser, Bill Lyman etc... all turn quality strikers. It's all in what feels best in your hand.

I have Lyman, Cox, Halloran, and they're all good. Also look into Matt McLains strikers. He makes good ones and has pretty good prices.

Currently David Halloran and Brad Roberts. Always ran David's, but just received a Roberts poplar glass/aluminum and one of his katalox strikers along with it. REALLY liking the feel of Brad's strikers so I need to add more. Also have some Stuckeys on the way as I've heard a lot of good about them.

In my opinion and experience, there's no "1" best... there are several.

For my preference, I really like:

Bill Lyman
Steve Torman
Mike Longnecker
John Sinclair
Matt McLain
Derrick Stuckey
Brad Roberts

...and I'm sure there are others.
