Re: Striker holder
I made 1 out of black felt. Pretty easy & cheap to do as all it takes is a piece of felt, a needle & thread, & some bandaids.
I can post pics if you'd like to see it.

Re: Striker holder
I designed a striker carrier which holds six strikers and had an older lady who is 76, yet still deer hunts, sew them for me. My seamstress and I operate on the barter system, I usually get her a couple of deer and at least one turkey a year for trade purposes. The carrier is fairly simple. A piece of material (I use a camo Cordura polyester fabric, non-fraying, water proofed, and non-absorbent) approximately 32" long and 41/2" wide is used. Fold the fabric approx. 7" from the ends, sew the sides to create a large pocket, then sew three smaller long pockets from the large pocket. Do this to both ends and you have a striker carrier which folds together in the middle, so the strikers can't fall out when folded closed, and is held together w/ cloth ties sewn to the carrier which wrap around the carrier and tied with a simple overhand. Additionally I have a small pocket sewn on the inside which holds a piece of 120 grit sanding foam block, the 1/8" thick variety, which had been cut 11/2"x 21/2" and the two foam surfaces glued together w/ contact cement to provide two striker conditioning surfaces. Some of my striker conditioning blocks are made utilizing foam blocks with two different grits ie, 80 and 120. My seamstress also sews a 1" wide strip of elastic prior to assembly to the material approx. 13" from the bottom end edge to finish w/ the top of the pocket to hold the strikers in their individual pockets when the carrier is open. The finished product is 9" long and @ 41/4" wide, has three pockets 7" long on each side and can be opened and laid on damp/wet ground without fear, giving access to six different strikers of various densities and tip surfaces. I don't do pictures, so don't ask. I hope this helps.

Re: Striker holder
Carrying 7 different strikers is a lot easier & more compact than carrying 7 different calls, isn't it.forkedlighting wrote: ↑July 27th, 2017, 12:42 pm I carry different ones because they all sound different on my calls

Re: Striker holder
I carry at least two striker carriers (12 different woods and surfaces ie. corian, water proof Cane Creek, graphite) and usually 3-4 pots w/ different surfaces. I've called in ares where I know there were gobblers and tried several pot and striker combinations without response, then suddenly strike gold with a striker/ surface pair which not only elicits a response, but calls them in to the gun. That my friend, is fuel for "the Disease", and why my vest weighs @ 18 pounds.

Re: Striker holder
Which is exactly why so many of use carry several strikers. If 1 doesn't work, another might.decoykrvr wrote: ↑July 27th, 2017, 2:38 pm I've called in ares where I know there were gobblers and tried several pot and striker combinations without response, then suddenly strike gold with a striker/ surface pair which not only elicits a response, but calls them in to the gun.
