Do you guys have a particular way of carrying your binos considering the bowstring. I like the crookedhorn system for general use, but wonder if it's in your way while trad hunting?

I've never had a problem with crooked horn system while trad hunting.
Since you mentioned it I'll probably hit it all the time now.

if you don't like Crooked Horn, I used to put a length of monofilament coated wire fishing leader through them, and hung them at my left side, since I am right handed.

A lot more inconvenient and more movement involved to use them and get them out of the way if I needed to shoot right after.

Try the CH system, and adjust them up high and tight...Ive never had string contact isues either, like 2knives.

when "serious" hunting, I wear a DayOne parka. It has a strap that holds the binos close to your chest. Rest of the time, I just put them in a pocket.

I put a length of green bow haul rope through them, long enough that they sit about on the belt line above my right hip. (I shoot right handed) Never in the way, and I can rotate them up with one hand when I need them.......

I also use the Crooked Horn straps and have never had an issue. I do plenty of stump shooting on my way back and forth to stands I don't remember ever hitting the binos with my string.

I use the cabela version of the CH straps for the first time this last year. The problem I had was that if I had a pack on and tried to bring my binos up one handed the straps pulled one side of the binos down (meaning not adjusted to my eye width).

I like the system but that was a problem specially when still slippin. I might be doin something wrong though?

Suggestions?

I used to use the bino buddy type system, it worked OK, but I have since just done almost exactly like Huntrdfk and I tied on some parachute cord, long enough to let the small bino's hang by or just above my right hip. I like it much better. it is not perfect, but I like it best so far.

Go to our website www.brothersofthebow.com and click on the new product "Monostrap". I've used one exclusively for probably fifteen years and love it. I've had enough positive feedback from friends that I'm having it produced. It's not available yet but will be soon. A great deal for under $10. BW

I Don't understand why they (binocs ) do not come with a belt CLIP !!!???

Barry Wensel · « **Reply #10 on:** January 15, 2008, 10:28:00 AM »

Yeah.. Sergio.. that was my thinking. I figured maybe all the major binocular manufacturers could order hundreds of thousands from me to include with their binoculars and I could maybe get to hunt a little more often. bw

Nice add photo Barry. You taking lessons from 3 Rivers? Oh wait, forgot to look at the bino strap while I was at your site.

ChuckC · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2008, 02:12:00 PM »

Wow ! Nice bino strap Barry...

I make my own binocular strap that i have been using for at least 6 six years. They weigh approximately 1 ounce and cost $3.00 to make.

I saw Fred Eichler carry his over his head and right arm under his armpit. Carries real nice and swings out just as easily doing it that way

Flatstick · « **Reply #16 on:** January 15, 2008, 04:34:00 PM »

I do the same as Huntrdfk and have done it that way for years,but to be honest I believe that Gene Wensel was the first person I seen carrying them like that many,many,many years ago

.

But I will admit that Barry's way sure LOOKS better! So Barry, do you use a "buddy stand" with that system or do you just strap her to the tree beside you?

foxbo · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2008, 05:51:00 PM »

I use the Pro Bino Manager. It's comfortable, keeps your binos secure, and best of all, it has a one sided pouch which protects and holds the binos against your chest. I also have a couple of the harnesses, but the bino manager is my favorite.

Barry, I don't know about your strap, but the young lady wearing the camo has got to be among the top ten in the world.

Lin Rhea · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2008, 07:33:00 PM »

Great input fellers. I guess I do some stump shootin with my binos on. I like the idea of low and under the arm.

Mr Wenzel, I would get one of yours, but I wear overalls most of the time while huntin. Nice and comfy. I'll sure recommend it though.

I just bought a new pair of Leupold 6 X 30's just for trad huntin and want to get ready.

Wow! Have y'all seen the monostrap? It is on the brothers of the bow web site....................keeps your pants up and organizes your binos too. Hot product..............sure doesn't look like Barry or Gene though.
