This might be a stupid / old question, but I need to ask.......
Does a round or flat tip on your striker work best? I wanted to sand / change the face of my tips to experiment with and figured I would ask before messing up some good strikers.
Thank you in advance for your insight!
round
I prefer strikers with flared, rounded tips.
I've only got one pot call that likes a flat tip striker. All the rest get a round tip. It's easier when you have a hot gobbler coming in.
I prefer a slightly rounded tip, more like a pool cue tip.
Thanks for the advice..... You guys saved me a lot of time on a bad experiment!
Rounded or flare tip for me
I like to run a round tip (no flare) Harold Fowler striker. I personally use purpleheart (Osage Orange top) and red brazilian chestnut (one piece) strikers for a Lonnie Sneed Hot hen slate. Our birds here in North Florida really like that combination. In my personal opinion it is easier to initially learn to use a flared-tip striker, but as you progress it seems like you can produce a clearer and more precise sound from just a round tip, but that's just me.
