Slate Call Striker Tip
 
I just got my first slate call for Christmas. A Primos Freak with the Frictionite face. What shape should the tip of a striker be. I've seen some that are rounded of and some that are pretty squared off. What do you guys prefer?

I think one that is a little more on the round side, i think its a little more forgiving.

Make sure to keep it clean...clean it with sandpaper.

When you use sandpaper on the slate, make sure to keep it in the same direction.
Like the pic I made.

Good Luck.

Thanks guys. I've been practicing. I'm getting better.

Good, practicing is key. I love slate calls and actually have two Freaks myself. In no time you'll be able to run that slate without even thinking about it.
