I took the frame off of mine. The very first day I field tested it I took the frame off. In all honesty it’s not worth the trouble. By that I means it’s an awesome vest, but the frame isn’t worth keeping in there in my opinion.
Your right it does construct your movement. You can’t even really position the gun right with the vest on.
So the alternative is to simply unhook the vest when your posted up against a tree. Isn’t exactly always an option though.
When the frame is out you can in fact move exactly how you normally could.
So all in all... what I’m saying is... I have taken the frame out of the vest, I’m keeping it I’m truck in the case that I find myself in an area that potentially would benefit from having the frame. And I also plan to do the seat mod as well.
Because yea the seat thing isn’t the best.
