Chest rig thoughts

[douglasfir]

I have a hard time feeling comfortable with stuff up high on my chest, whether it's a bino harness, kit bag, or holster. I was thinking about finding something made to ride lower and customizing it from there. Something like this:



From here, you could add pouches as needed. A molle-compatible bino pouch, radio pouch, etc.

Have any of you guys used something similar?

As an archer, I want minimal bulk protruding from my chest. My thought is the lower a bino harness is, the more movement you’ll make to use the binocs. Not as big of deal for a rifle hunter in open country. But you see some folks wanting everything on thier chest, like they’re wanting the Beverly Hillbillies truck look.

Wonder what it would be like if you had to go prone?

I use “tactical” chest rigs all the time. I turned one into a bino harness after I got tired of constantly trying actual bino. harnesses and not liking them.

I like mine to ride high, helps when sitting, shooting or driving.

What’s it like prone?
Is it manageable?

 

[justinspicher]

No issues so far, but I rarely shoot prone. It isn’t a realistic position here.

What about sitting with a tripod?

I’m kinda like the OP in that I’ve always wondered but never pursued it.
