Title: Hen box holsters ?? Thoughts ??
Post by: Yoder409 on March 09, 2018, 09:19:06 PM
I've been approached and in conversation by a gentleman who inquired as to whether I had ever done a handled hen box holster............ specifically a Hudson box.

I have not.

I guess I'm looking for input on what sort of demand there might be for such a holster in considering whether the design process would be time well spent ...........

Thanks for your thoughts !!

I'll need two. One for the small and one for the bigger size Hen box that Richard makes.

Highly interested. I own two of his full size hen boxes and don't have a solid way to tote them in the woods other than just in hand or tossed into my vest. Neither of which I prefer to do so something to keep them protected and holstered would be outstanding!

I was just thinking about holsters for the Woodhaven Custom Calls Ninja Hen Box I won here and for a long box by Russell Beard I have coming last night and this morning as a matter of fact.

It appears that there may be enough of a demand to try to put a holster together.

Please stand by...................

I'd also like to see what you come up with.  I'll be carrying a hen box this year.

I'd be real interested in one for a regular hen box and one for a mini...I have a friend who expressed interest also...

We have an initial prototype.

It is packaged and will be on its way tomorrow to my hand-picked evaluator. 

Stay tuned.

How will you deal with the different sizes - I don't know much about hen boxes, but it sounds like there's quite a bit of variation in the shape and size from the various call makers. Maybe I'm wrong on this - can the hen box experts chime in?

I'm getting a hen box from Matt Fulkerson, so if your holster will work with that call, I'd definitely be interested.

We're trying to make it small enough so as to not totally swallow the smaller boxes, yet large enough to securely hold the bigger ones.  If we have to tweek this or make an adjustment on that............we can do that.

A field evaluation of the prototype is forthcoming, so.....................

Yoder,

OK, that sounds great - look forward to seeing the prototype.

Just an update...................

Our prototype holster is currently being tested in the field. 

Initial opinion is that we're pretty darned close on the first try.  Continue to standby...............
