Favorite Custom Striker Maker

[RunNGunSC]

Who makes your favorite strikers?  What style of tip do they make, and do they make anything unique?  I use and really like Fowler and JLH, but that is about the extent of my knowledge.

Clay Townsend persimmon top over snakewood is one of my favorites alone with Osage top snakewood Fowler striker alone with other ones  . Anything from Clay is killer in the strikers, i really like the tips of his strikers .. I'm not a big fan of JHL strikers. IMO.. but a lot of people like his strikers .

[Beards and Hooks]

  Some of my favorites besides the already mentioned Fowlers, are Neal Hermans, Derrick Stuckey (obsession calls),  and my favorite Bill Lymans. I don't hear a whole lot but about his strikers but I also really like Wendell (lights out) just got some of his in the last 3 months or so.

So I have a fairly vast number of custom strikers that's almost embarrassing to talk about.  I collect them and try to use them all, but alas, one season isn't long enough to get through them.  I'll share custom makers I collect from.  The vast majority I have are from JLH.  I like the look and balance they have and they tend to play well for me.  I have many strikers from Derek Fowler, Dustin Holzman, Bill Lyman, Derek Stuckey and Neal Herrman.  Those are my top makers.  I have some from a few others I like but the ones I just provided are my favorites.  I have every wood imaginable and many you've never heard of.

I believe it is.  Strikers have given way to trumpets for me now.  I'm a ways off from buying a trumpet though.  Learning a cane yelper first, then a wingbone.

Lyman and Halloran

Oh I forgot to mention Larry Gresser at Prairie Game Calls. Damn good strikers and very affordable. His other calls are top notch as well!
