    How can you tell I can’t see his eye only the camera. Just kidding, I am always amazed at the photography on this forum.

    A few from our time with the Hill Brothers today. Some are just straight off the camera and need some editing. Awesome country.

    Looks like the Hill brothers need to buy a new house or at least get a roof put on that one.

    My review is....It's awesome....I don't have one in hand.....yet....but I got to fiddle with one quite a bit today...Horizontal pockets have stretchy pockets on the inside....top pocket goes all the way down...

    Vertical zip pocket has Horizontal pockets that will accommodate mags up to SR25 size....so when you lay it down to shoot off it as a rest the mags are oriented to just grip and rip....very cool.

    All great pictures! Thanks for taking the time to share. My Ross Reel is a plane Jane compared to those beauties.
