Title: Striker Tip... Round or flat
Post by: forcercon1 on March 30, 2014, 01:52:59 AM
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!

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.

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.
