Shoulder Strap Mount & Use
I worried about hooking the strap to the tank might cause too much stress on the frame so I came up with this:
I put my hand up thru the lower right loop around to the left of the padded end and under the fore end grip. With the strap around my upper ARM I have steady tri-angular hold from upper ARM to rifle and with elbow held down against ribs, a good light tri-angular hold from elbow to rifle to shoulder.
I made a heavy metal ring to hold the strap out just a little from the rear hole in the frame. The AR-15 type grip allowed access to the hole.
I may need to upgrade to the WOKGARD-15 to prevent frame flex.
Any criticism and suggestions would be appreciated.

I used it several days with the strap connector screwed through the hole and that was painful unless positioned all the way to the left. The thick ring I made slightly elongated is enough to get the strap connector out of the way. And the ring holds the web of my hand away from the Sharp edges of the frame. It’s much more comfortable.
I try to maintain a one finger tight grip on the grip by wrapping the middle finger tight under the trigger guard and overlap it with my thumb. The last 2 fingers are just lightly wrapped on the grip. I read how to do that in some experts instructions.
There is still a potential to use to much pressure on the strap and flex the frame.
no criticism, but a question, doesn’t the ring get in the way of your grip hand? seems like i would jab you in the web of your hand, between the thumb and forefinger. i’ve been trying to figure out a way to mount a sling to my bird, for the same reason. pretty slick idea, by the way :thumb:
