ORIGINAL: Gobbling Buck
I was flipping through my latest edition of Turkey Call the other day and saw a new vest that is on the market this year and it looks pretty good. A lot of pockets (40) i believe and several (7 I think) new patented features. Anyway, I noticed there was a piece of nylon webbing attached to the shoulder of the vest, in a loop, so you can put the butt of your gun in it to hold it up and allow the shooting hand to be free. I've often pondered how to accomplish such a task and after seeing this, I don't know why I didn't figure it out sooner. Well I have a fairly new vest and I'm not ready to get a new one just for this simple, but ingenius, feature. So I found a piece of 1" nylon webbing that I happened to have (I told the old lady I'd need it for something) and I got out my trusty Betsy Ross starter kit and sewed that sucker on. It holds the but of my gun up into my shoulder and is secured by sliding forward of the bottom sling swivel stud on the toe of the stock. Thought I'd share the tip for anyone else that may need their hands free to use your friction calls. I'll try to get hold of one 'nem digital type picture boxes and show ya'll what I'm talking about.
