What Are They For ?

Post by markiver54 » Sat Mar 13, 2021 3:57 pm

Got this back pack a while back with my NRA renewal. ( I renew each year instead of paying the huge amount for a life time membership. )
Anyway, I guess this is supposed to be some sort of tactical backpack, ( which I don't need ), but my question is; what is the intended purpose of the straps on the front?
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, or just plain un-informed.
Can anyone enlighten me?

you can hang most everything but a porta potty on those rifles .... my guess would be straps could hold flashlights, lasers, cup holders and a host of other attachments

Well, you'll never guess what showed up in my mailbox today, lol.

Maybe the NRA heard me and made a special delivery??

Wayne LaPierre needs to make a mansion payment so your prizes might be late. Probably needs some new clothes to.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Some types of magazine pouches, military canteens, and other gear, have this kind of arrangement for attaching to webbing:

Mark, you now need to invest in items that can be hung on those straps. They are handy if you have a use for them.
