How is wearing it to your stand? Flop around? Buckle noise? Loud busting through brush?

I tuck my bridge into the belt like many others do. I also daisy chain my LB from my left hip and clip it up under my butt and my 2 dump pouches to the loop on my right hip. At that point, there's nothing to really snag or clink. Not loud at all.

I had more noise on my Web then the H2. The traveling and the climb were more enjoy too.

I actually took my tubular webbing bridge off and used some 9mm HTP static and a prussiks to make an adjustable bridge. Its longer and therefore easier to use for 1 sticking but a lot better in terms of comfort. On the walk in now, I take it off my right side and put it in a daisy chain and put it in my left side dump pouch. It also seems to flow a little smoother through my carabiner.

I am having a hard time visualizing your setup would you have pics or could you?

I got a large h2 slingshot in the mail last Tuesday. Left for a wv hunting trip Thursday morning and was in the slingshot Thursday evening for a hunt. Really liked it and got my first saddle deer kill! Used it for 5 days and my flex was sold yesterday morning. Ordered another h2

Thats nice! You should make a step by step tutorial on making it. Are those duck calls?
Gladly!
And no. Lol. One is a cheap-o Walmart doe bleat and the other is the messenger grunt tube. Dr Grant Woods developed it (he’s a famous online tv hunter that live about 30 minutes from me) and I really like it.

I actually took that ugly progress capture device off and did a schwebash in 5.5 mm beel cord with a tender from @DanO. They're legit.

Have you ever seen/used the new trophyline? Wanting to get a comparison of the two.

I haven’t, but one of my teammates just ordered one. I’ll spend some time in it when we go hunting together and I’ll report back to you. Another buddy of mine had one and sold it because he likes his mantis so much. He said it felt like the buckles on the trophy line were cheap.

Can you elaborate on what you liked more about the H2 compared to the flex. That's impressive that you ditched the flex, most people have been saying that it's the best thing out there. I understand it's all preference but i'd like to hear what you think about the situation.

I’m interested in this too.

Not sure why but I have less hip pinch with the h2. Also seems a little lighter and I like the simplicity and quietness of the g hooks for the leg straps. Maybe I needed the size 2 flex for the comfort? All I know is the h2 is very solid built and I'm comfortable in it
