I purchased one of these vests from Boonies Outfitters at the Hunters Extravaganza in August and it is awesome. I am able to carry my gun easily and its right there when I need it. The buckles on the front come open with a tug and my guns out. I took it bird hunting and used the game bag that attaches to the side and was able to put my gun in it and walk a long way comfortably without worrying about my gun. Its also made here in the US. They have some pretty cool products you can check out on their website. booniesoutfitters.com
