Ol Tom Gunslinger/ Nomad Pursuit/ Grounded Impact

[pcobb]

Has anyone else had problems loosing strikers with the ol tom gunslinger. I couldn't seem too keep the magnetic flaps to stay closed. Lost 2 strikers this spring.

I dont have the gunslinger, but I have used an ol Tom for the last 10-12 years I think it's been. I HIGHLY recommend you modify your striker pocket sleeves. I cut the useless magnets out and replaced them with buttons, MUCH more secure (I have lost too many strikers before the buttons). Magnets are a bad idea that ol Tom should abandon in my opinion.  I put buttons on my box call sleeves and pot call pockets too.

Thanks I will look into replacing the magnets.

Grounded vest is too heavy, the Nomad vest I did not like the position of the chest pouches, my buddy was going to give me a brand new one and I tried it on and handed it back to him.

Haven't handled the ol tom but it looks too bulky for me?  Not sure the weigh?

I know my RNG 200 with my calls in it is lighter than the grounded empty!

Are you happy with the RNG 200??

You think the ol tom vest is too bulky? I'm in the deep South and it's just right.  Most vests I've seen have a ton of back padding like you are getting ready to go play for the Steelers.

Like I said I have not handled it, but the front looks like a large women's dress!

Thats disappointing to hear about the striker pockets on the old tom. I'm tempted to order the grounded vest but someone posted that they heard they were going to update the vest so the buckles don't touch your shotgun stock. Does anyone know if this is true?
