[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2644668, member: 113623"] If you listen to how he talks, and look at the design, that is definitely for shooting matches. Going short distances and pulling the rifle off to shoot at whatever made up obstacle they have built. Personally I don't want guns strapped in front of me for busting brush or climbing up mountains. The buttstock looks like it is going to hit your thigh every time you step, especially if you are climbing. Those would be my concerns at least in my environment and where I hunt, I would imagine people's mileage would vary greatly depending on what they are hunting and where they are hunting it. I installed it, and have been playing around with it a little, but haven't had a chance to really field it yet due to a badly sprained ankle. The install was easy, and I think it achieves what it set out to do which is just transfer the weight from your shoulder to your pack and hips. I haven't had much trouble unslinging the rifle while hooked even with the limited range of motion from wearing a pack and having my shoulder repaired. It feels more stable than just slinging the rifle on your shoulder, I find when I do that I am constantly trying to reposition it, so this hook at least seems to solve that concern. If I am really hiking in a few miles to camp, I think I would want to still strap the rifle to my pack for the out of the way for security. I typically use hiking poles so my hands are full and its just one less thing to worry about. At least at this point I see this more as an intermediate niche as opposed to and end all be all carry solution. Again, that is just for my application. [/QUOTE]
