Interested in the flared tip striker......I've never run one, :-[ so I'm interested in what it will do for a call as compared to a straight tipped striker....
Thanks, Zumer

Z, it lets you change the angle of the striker and "seems" on some woods to give a little more control.

Never cared for them myself.

I prefer the flared tip to the straight tip. It seems to be more forgiving if your angle is a little off.

I prefer a straight tip.

I use both of them... the flared,grips the surface better on those certain mornings (humidity)
For sound.. I would say the same.. the flared tip gives you more control.. I carry one flared tip in my vest..

I make mostly flared tip strikers but only carry straight tips in my vest.

I'm with Shad on this one. I had never used a flared tip until I turned my own and now that is all I turn unless a straight tip is requested or I am using dowel to make a two piece striker (which is very rare). They definately tend to be a little more forgiving when you are paying more attention to the gobbler that your striker angle.

I can't tell much differenc in the sound between either one. I prefer a strait tip over a flare tip, but it seems like you don't have tosand the tip of a flare tip striker as much.

I prefer the flared tip, it seems to have better control plus allows for a thinner striker.

BINGO but I like a smaller flare tip striker with a thinner shaft.

I use and have turned both but in the last year have done more with a slight flair. The flair seems to give more control but the same sound as a straight tip. Bill

i prefer straight myself.
-
Doesn't matter to me...however I prefer the flare tip too. Can't really say why other than I just like it.
-
I have both tips but I prefer straight tips myself.

Never cared for the flared tipped stikers, I use all straight tip.

I got a flaired tip laminated striker yesterday at Gander Mountain......
It is user friendly for sure......It will run on angles, that a straight tip will not....
I'm headed out this morning with 5 calls, that flair tip, some straight tips, and my digital recorder to find out which combo sounds best in the woods....... *cheers*
-
I like both. I like medium to regular flared tip. Not to big is what I am trying to say. I do not think I have many custom striker that do not have some type of flare to there tip. I think I like flared tip the most.
-
Did some recording this morning.....@ 30 yards w/ a digital recorder....
Can't say that the flair tip did any better getting the sound out of a call, then my straight tips did......
The flair tip sounded best on glass from what I heard ......
To my ear the straight tip gives a sharper sound, because of less surface contact......
-
It doesn't matter to me which one I run. Some calls (glass mostly like you said Zumer) I do prefer a flour tip.

I don't see how you get a whole lot of sound out of those "flour" tipped strikers myself. ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO Do you put a touch of glue on there before you apply the flour? Which runs the best the bleached or unbleached?

A little tough to keep on the tip, eh, Mark... :-\

Porter's been baking again....he has the cutest apron..... :-\

Porter,
Have you ever tryed sugar? It tends to grip a bit better than flour and when you need a little pick me up after chasing those long beards all morning you can lick it like a lolly pop..

That poor guy is at it again....................
-
I like the flared tips when I use a pot call..which is seldom...PORTER..OH MY!! ROTFLMBO
Charlie
-
I like and use both, it depends on the call and the weather which one I run.
-
I've used both and like both on different calls...... I have never tried a Floured tip.... ROTFLMBO. I can't knock it till I tried It. You might be on to something there Porter... *lol* *lol* *lol*
