is dealing with some health issues- hopefully not disastrous but certainly frightening, keep her in your prayers, those of you that pray.

Is not the most comfortable thing, and for a while I lusted after one of these. It makes more sense to me than bringing a properly slung gun to shooting position, just slide it out of the scabbard and let gravity help you bring it into position.

I sleep with my arms up over my head, always have, so the action of reaching over my shoulder is natural and comfortable, and at the Shot Show (Our booth is close to NCstar) I tried out one of the sausage sack ones with a blue gun.

And saw the trouble with it immediately. You can’t draw a gun like that without muzzling everyone behind you, and that’s just stupid.

So I think I might buy one of these from Orvis. The weight of the gun would be on the belt but most of the benefit comes from having the gun pointed safely and being able to get it to your shoulder fast. A nice idea, I think, for a sporting arm. And it would work for scoped rifles as well.
