My pal Tedthorn sent me this to field test.

Great idea Ted! It works really well. It not only keeps the sling from shifting off the shoulder strap, it also keeps it from rotating forward or back.

I'll be ordering more for my other hunting packs.

Thanks buddy!


Luck....is the residue of design...

Pat, Ted did a great job with the sling keeper (aka Frankenstud Slingamarig).

I mounted mine on a Nexus Patch, rather than through the shoulder strap:

Worked great this past fall... you can see it on the RH shoulder strap:

I'd buy one if he ever started selling them.

Looks pretty slick. I recall some prior posts on prototypes.

Thanks Brad. Ted was nice enough to send me one a while back, I need to get off the dime and install it!! Hearing both you and Pat endorse it is all I need to know.

Smoke, mine is somewhere around the 1st Gen Ted made. I believe he's done several upgrades since that have made it better, primarily making it wider. It's a winner.

Brad,

The one you have now is a Gen3

Your new one (Gen5) will hit before elk season

Smoke...... yours is a Gen5

Pat's is a Gen4

This is the Gen5 on a Bison Gear and KUIU pack

This picture was taken a couple years ago during testing.

The Franlenstud wouldn't allow the rifle to fall !!!

The stud pictured is a flat sided stainless steel Gen2. It worked great but needed to get bigger and loose some weight.

The Gen4 is low profile SS steel

The Gen5 is a larger size but made from aluminum

The Gen2 and the Gen4

Guys.....

Here is the problem.....cost $$$$

These are hand made.....one at a time

What is a good price point?

About $10 or $11 in materials and shipping plus just over one hour of machine/polish/blast time in my evening after a lpng work day.

Would you pay $40 to $50 each ???

Looks good. Great idea.
Hope you have patent pending on this since you posted on line.
I wouldn't pay more than 20$ shipped.
I already have the safari sling. But sometimes I like it on shoulder like your pics.
Combine the two.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

It's a gadget I don't need and have survived with out this long.
It is clever and useful, but to me not 50 must have.
For a 20 I don't mind getting something and use it once a year or not.
Make it out of quality and heavy duty plastic on 3D printer For fraction of the cost for jews like me. and 40-50 aluminum version.
Just being honest.
