As far ad the adjustment goes, I made the length of the strap as long as I will ever foresee having the leg in its outback position..and then just position as needed, leaving the strap for rearward limit. Works beautifully! The leg 2-1\2" shorter did not make anything less adjustable.. Just that I don't have to buckle flip or fold the leg for any leaning..and for leg use, just fold it out to desired angle..Thats it..Silent, simple, fast, those pins and buckles bugged me every time I wanted a quick sit while still hunting..
