elknut,
The striker he mentioned can be bought with a Wood Wise call, though I have no experience with the call. One great thing about a slate/glass/aluminum etc... call is that you can change the use and sound of a call with a striker. Usally a call will come with one or two strikers. You then can either add or use strikers from other calls to help change the sound. I havn' t used the Mystick Stick Carbon but can speak volumes for their orignial Mystic Stick. It is one awesome striker. Also the Mystic Stick carbon can be bought by it' s self or in a three pack.
One thing I didn' t mention earlier. A slate call can not be used in wet weather. However, glass, slae-tek, frictionite, andoxied alumnium can be used in wet weather. Also some wooden strikers should not be used in wet weather wear as the Mystic Sticks, carbon, glass and acrylic can be used.
Have I confused you yet?
