Who do you think makes great strikers. Mostly I will be running them on slate & glass.
Thanks.

Lyman, Fowler, Cox and Stuckey all make fine strikers.

For glass go with massacar or ipe
Slate I like black locust or purple heart

Just search Lyman striker on here and you will find pics

It's hard to say who has the best ones. Each maker has their own feel. Wood wise for glass and crystal you'll have a hard time beating yellowheart. For softer talk but still versatile try hickory.

I got one striker from 4 or 5 different makers and tried them out. It's really probably down to personal preference. I liked the way the Lyman balance and felt in my hand. Ended up selling the others

I like Derrick Stuckey personally.

You can't go wrong with Stuckey strikers.

Happy hooker

Isn't dymondwood considered an all around??? I'd make sure to have one of those in your plan.

Fowler is the best, but with his health issues I feel he will no longer be making them. Sad day in call making history.

I've been really impressed with the couple Sinclair strikers I picked up this year. Stucky makes a great striker as well.

Halloran are some of my favorites. I like Stuckey strikers as well. Harold Fowler makes some very nice ones and is a super nice man to speak with. His strikers are a little to small for my hands though. Looking to get a couple of Lyman strikers by next season.

If you have not tried Daddy Rat's strikers give em a shot. I really like his Jatoba striker.

Also take a look at making your own 2 pc strikers. Lots of material options out there.
