ABSTRACT:
A bird call striker made up of a body, a dowel assembly, and an end cap. The body has a generally "Z"-shaped channel having an extension slot and a retraction slot. The invention may also have a clip mounted to the outside of the body for carrying on a belt or shirt pocket. The dowel assembly has a rod that slidingly communicates with the guide bushing between an extended position and a retracted position. A knob having a threaded shaft is perpendicularly and transversely mounted to the rod to assist the user in extending and retracting the rod. An extension spring assists in removably locking the knob in the extension slot, thereby maintaining the rod in extended position, and a retraction spring assists in removably locking the knob in the retraction slot, thereby maintaining the rod in retracted position. Additionally, the knob may be twisted to removably engage the distal end of the shaft with the inside of the body, thereby allowing the user to partially extend the rod from the body. When the rod is in retracted position, the body protects the rod from breakage and other damage due to the hazards of wild turkey hunting and observing.
