Title: New NWTF Grand Slam Turkey Vest
Post by: grayfox on February 06, 2016, 01:11:34 PM
Anybody seen this new vest made by Alps? Looks almost like the Cabela's version.

I just wish someone would make a vest with more than 2 pot call holders. 6 would be perfect ????

The super elite will hold 4 if you double them up. I also sewed a hs twin pan to the front bottom strap. I take 6 ever day.

Probably is? Don't Cabela's put their name on other brand items and jack the price up?

Cabela's has had the Tactical Tat'r for several years now. I know I've hunted with mine for at least 4 seasons now. They are the only one that I have seen have this vest until Alps came out with their version. Although Cabela's do put their name on other products I think the NWTF & Alps got the same company that made the Cabela's Tactical Tat'r to make a version for them.

I'd like to have more pot call compartments as well, but have not found one with them.

One can supplement by buying these external cases and clipping them on the D rings on the vest.  Hopefully, the vest has some like the discontinued Limbhanger does.

Not sure if they are still made this way or not ,but the Redhead Bucklick Creek Turkey Lounger vest of a few years ago will hold 4 pot calls , they have 2 pockets with a divider in each one , works great !! The dividers are soft cloth ,fleece I believe so the calls are protected and quiet,  no contact between the 2 calls .

I picked up one of these at the NWTF show for 99.99. I've been wearing the Tactical Tat'r for a few year. I like the set up on this new vest. It is pretty heavy compared to my stripped down Tat'r, but still lighter than carrying a chair. There is a lot of adjustment for belly size. I'm a smaller guy and can pull it way down, but it should adjust out to fit most guys.

I tried it on and didn't like it. The frame was not contoured at all and was flat which felt very rigid when moving around and bending I felt. I wish they would make a less expensive version without the frame because I did like the setup.
