Wow, I'd love to have one as well.  That's a pretty slick deal.

I use exactly the same setup. Not sure that I do it to keep my binos "out of the road", but they are handy and out of the way when I shoot.   :rolleyes:

Nice offer Barry, and I see you have some takers. I saw that you posted here, and promised a friend of yours I'd say hi for him, since he is not internet savvy. So a big Indiana Hello from Mr. John Brooks.

FYI: The "Monostrap Girl" works for me, although I loan her out occasionally to Uncle Barry for his promotions, HA.  Her name is Mandy.   She's a farm raised TN mountain girl who has been around hunting most of her life. She's also a fitness expert and is tough as nails!

I use a bino buddy, but I don't like it. On long hunts I usually wear military load bearing gear (which doubles as a drag harness) or if I'm closer to camp or a road, a fleece fanny pack. I've been looking for a suitable hip holster all spring that'll fit both the web belt and the fanny pack belt and haven't found one.

There is a military surplus store down on first in Seattle I mean to hit the next time I'm in civilization.

Okay the freebies are all spoken for. Randy Stamps, Shawn Swafford and Peter McMiller. Arrow 30 (Bryant Hodges) said it was cool but didn't say for sure he wanted one. But if you all PM me your postal mailing addresses I'll mail Bryant one too. I already have Randy'saddress. They'll all go out Monday AM. My pleasure. BW aka Uncle Barry    p.s. I'll enclose your own personal picture of Mandy too but you'll need to get her phone number from Gary.8^)

Very nice of you, Barry!  I'm betting you have made three people really happy- and a number more sorry they weren't online at the right moment.  For them, I'd say, this was $10 well spent!  You oughta order one to try...

Mandy looks like a nice mother of two who would NEVER step on a twig at the wrong moment...

I use a bino system similar to the crooked horn bino system but it has a cover that fully encloses them, and its made by Browning.

That's was very nice of you Barry  :thumbsup:

I have tried a few different bino carry straps.  the best one for me, is paracord, on the binos, I am right handed.  I wear them under my right arm, they hang across my chest.  I find that I can get them into use quick, quiet and easy, they fall back easy, out of the way of bow, arms keeps rain and debris from getting in them, and have no problem stalking or crawling with them.

Most of the time I carry a pair of compacts,right now they are Zeiss 10X25's.I shorten the strap so they hang in the center of my chest.I then attach a second "strap" of 3/8" elastic and that goes around my chest and back and keeps them against my chest so they don't flop.From there,it is just a short movement to bring them into play and then they go right back,tucked against the chest.

Neck strap, but I hook a 16" bungee (1/8" type) behind my back with a plastic hook on each end that loops onto the "D" rings on the neck strap.  

Keeps them tight against my chest and steadies them for one-hand use.

I myself use the bino buddy type, holds them tight to my chest and I can shoot with them on and they are never in the way. Barrys one is cool but I like mine tight to my chest. Shawn
