Striker weight got some made up

[mmclain]

That does answer some of the questions I have. Being a competive archer I do a lot of balancing of arrows (FOC) also to get the stabilizer to balance the bow. Been thinking about building some strikers that have a way to add / subtract weight in the top so it can be adjusted to the user, has any one tried any like this

Competition call guys add weight with electrical tape or rubber bands often.

Too heavy and it ruins to tone. Too light it ruins it as well  You can go too far in either direction and ruin a striker.

 Here is a small run of strikers that I have put a weight/balance into the top of the striker, on left are black locust, on right is dymonwood. And persimmon  if any one in trying one pm me. Cost for these are $12 plus shipping

 Straight tip

Heavy strikers with a small diameter rod and most definately a straight tip.

I've been balancing every striker I've build for years. The striker is your tuning fork on a pot call. The weight will make a difference of how a call sound, but the weight will change with every call. Each call requires a certain weight depending on what surface is on it, and what wood the pot is made of, to get the best sound and performance out of that call. For example, a walnut top may weigh anywhere from 14 to 20 grams, and a peg will weigh 6 to 11 grams depending on what kind of wood it is? The weight of your striker is determined by how you play a call, if your an aggressive player you might want a lighter striker, if your a more softer player, than a heavier striker may perform better for you?

Dog Gon! Just when I thought I was starting to get this pot call and striker thing down someone has to go throw another wrinkle in the works LOL!

And some woods just suck as strikers. No matter the weight.
