Looking to pick up a few new strikers!

I want to add some new strikers to my vest, open to any suggestions! As of now I would like to find an Ipe, diamondwood, black locust, persimmon possibly tupelo or a few others. I prefer the shorter strikers not the long ones, a flare tip is a plus but not a must! I'm looking for recommendations  for call makers that make strikers out of these woods. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks SF

I'll go ahead and recommend Jeff Harris. I know he sales locust and a lot of frogwood. I'm not sure about the others but you could shoot him a message and see. JLH Strikers.

JLH's heavy cedar is my favorite in the vest.

Thanks for the suggestions, these are some great looking strikers. Also good to know not only do they look good but people are actually using them!

Meleagris gallopavo

Not sure how short you like them, The strikers I have from these folks are about 7" long.  I'd like to add that Dustin Holzman (DBH Strikers) makes a good striker.  Derek Fowler at Fowler Outdoor Products makes good ones as well.  Neal Herrman who makes  strikers for Hooks Calls is good.

X2 on these, really love that Halloran Ipe.

Jeff from JLH Strikers is a great guy to deal with and makes some wonderful strikers. Jeff has  gone out of his way to make a few little bit wider for me so they would be more comfortable in my messed up hands.

My hands really like those Stuckey strikers, I've had a few hand injuries so some strikers can be difficult/painful for me to use but his work really well for me.

I also got my first striker from Clay Townsend not too long ago great little 2 piece snakewood with a persimmon head and snakewood rings sounds great very comfortable.

My favorite three, consistently, are JLH, Neal Herrman, and Stuckey.
