We offer a variety of different strikers to produce unique sounds. They can be used with our variety of slate calls to effectively bring in the big birds.
Any of the striker "Sets" can also be bought as an individual striker.
Some strikers are very limited, so if you see what you like get it while you can.

UGLY STICK
This striker was dubbed the "UGLY STICK" at the PA Wild Ugly Sticks
Turkey Convention in 1998 and I can't keep these in stock. Many of the dealers themselves bought these strikers for their own use!! As one buyer said, "It may be called ugly, but it sure makes a beautiful sound."
The top is made from corncob and the shaft is made from hickory with an African "mopani" tip. A scratch pad is glued to the top for extra versitility. African wood is a very dense wood and will hold it's edge for a long time.

You now have the choice of either a flat tip or a rounded tip. Just let me know which you prefer.
UGLY STICK Original, or with hardwood top
A variety of hardwoods are hand lathed and placed on a 5/16th Hickory shaft with an African Mopani tip. Mopani is a very hard wood, and sounds GREAT!
DELUXE Hardwood Ugly Sticks
These are just like the hardwood ugly stick, but with a rounded "bulb" tip now of Mopani with a Black Walnut top, Kingwood with a Spalted Oak Burl top, & Ebony with a Cherry Burl top. The tops are hand lathed with a 5/16th hickory shaft
You choose the tip, we choose the striker.
Deluxe Barber Pole with Mopani tip, Kingwood tip, or Ebony tip
These Deluxe Ugly Sticks are multiple woods laminated together, hand lathed and placed on a 5/16th Hickory striker. The tips are rounded Mopani, Kingwood, or Ebony.
All these woods are hard woods, and produce a really GREAT sound on a slate. Just choose the tip, and we choose the striker. You can let us know if you like a higher sound, or lower sound, and we will try our best to accommodate.
ONE OF A KIND
Here's a new striker I'm "playing" with. The tops are a combination of all the 'extra' wood, laminated together, and hand lathed. Some of the woods used are: cherry burl, oak burl, purple heart, black walnut, & maple. These are all ONE OF A KIND.
The shafts are hickory with a rounded Mopani tip, hickory with a rounded Kingwood tip, plexiglass, and lastly purple heart.
A few even have a "lacy" effect. The lace is an epoxy that is used to fill in some of the worst holes.
Barber poles are back!!!
Barber Poles are multiple woods such as, curly maple, maple, hickory, cherry burl, black walnut, purple heart, cherry, and other woods laminated together, cut on an angle, and hand lathed. The strikers are either purple heart, plexiglass, or hickory.

Hardwood Striker with 1/4" IPE shaft
IPE (pronounced"ee-pay) is a tropical hardwood that is harder and denser than Teak wood. It has a beautiful dark color and a tight grain that gives it a very consistent coloring. It is the heaviest wood that is available for commercial usage.
Chestnut Striker with 5/16th Hickory Shaft & Bone Tip
Great for use on glass and slate calls. With practice, you
can make an aggressive hen purr sound.
It's high pitched and raspy
Good for use on glass calls, and slate calls.. Sound is high pitched and raspy.
"TWO-FER"This striker is hand lathed Black Walnut with a 5/16th Plexiglass shaft on one side, and a 5/16th Hickory shaft on the other side...2 for the price of one!!!
Plexiglass WILL work on a wet slate, so now you don't have to have that extra striker along!!

Tweeners
These strikers are made from the center of the log "between" 2 layers of wild cherry burled wood that is hand lathed.( thus the "TWEENER") They have a lot of the same characteristics as the burled wood, including some burl, wormholes, dry rot, and a phenomenal grain.
The strikers are available with a 5/16th hickory shaft, a purple heart shaft, or a plexiglass shaft.
