Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Retainers for rifle sling on Packs ?

Nice horns Brad!

You tell 'em.

Nothing says hard core like this pic.....LMAO.

Very nice.

Smoke, thanks.

I gave Ted's "Sling Stud" a thorough workout. It was great. I like it as well as my own design, and I think his "Franken Stud" (which is wider than the one I used) would be better than both.

When humping a normal 50lb pack on normal terrain, the keeper holds it in place nicely. When negotiating really steep terrain, tucking the sling under the sternum strap in addition to the keeper (sling stud) is the way to go. When the load gets ridiculous and the terrain even worse, that's the ONLY way to go.

Does Ted sell those things?

Well, I've encouraged him to do so. I think his is a terrific design.

Here's his (the new version is wider):



Mine:

Hell, I didn't even know BSA hunted.

Brad-

Well done man - another good one!

Way to go Brad! Another solo .308 Win. bull goes home. I hope you are going to do a little write-up?

That's when I wish I had that contraption on my pack.. past weekend hauled a 85lb pack full of meat good and it sucked

Brad what pack do you use??

Ted is kind of a somofabitch when it comes to things

He gives them away to friends and family.

Sells them for cost to nice strangers.

Won't sell them for any price to some.

There are only a couple that are on the later list.....sorted out over members telling me "how it is" or "what I am/or not"

I dont have any landowner ML plains mule deer tags to give away....just machining skills

The 5th generation Frankenstud Slingamarig is simple, efficient and weighs very little

420 SS throughout or Aluminum with a SS screw



The St. Louis Cardinals have kicked the Cubs azz my entire life.....

I hope they win the world series this year....but savor the flavor

It wont happen again next year

Damn dude, you need a new model and you could sell the heck out of those things!!!

This years budget is pretty low for "models"

It don't matter, you need to fire that guy.

Yes, rifle in hands, bino's in the backpack. Just like all the "old timers" thought us.

I'm betting only a handful of guys will see the humor..You aint one of them.

Read my previous posts.

Could have used one of those this year. Where do I send coin, beer, scotch, or what ever the coin of the realm is?

even

It was a rhetorical question. Let me ask it a little more directly:

If you've never done it, how do you know that it works well?

I would rather have a colonoscopy.
