Tubb
Tactical
Vest
The
Tubb Tactical vest made
by Creedmoor Sports for
Superior Shooting
Systems Inc. is a
revolution in
professional riflery.
The Tactical Vest
employs a unique harness
arrangement that allows
use of an integral rifle
sling for support in any
and all shooting
positions. It's a simple
set up that replicates
sling use in the
competitive arena for
someone who is deploying
a rifle in a field
situation.

Once
the harness is adjusted
for prone use, I have
found that I can keep
the same setting for
other shooting positions
simply by varying the
point from which the
rifle sling portion of
the harness that is
connected to the rifle
crosses my shoulder. The
web sling connects to
the bipod so that by
moving the support hand
fore and aft on the
forend the proper
tension and rifle
elevation can be
established. After a
little use, I think
you'll be surprised at
how well you adapt to
it. I have run this set
up head to head against
bipod users and there
was no contest in the
outcome: I was able to
engage and hit my
targets much more
efficiently and quickly.
Of course, when used in
conjunction with a bipod
the harness allows for
an extremely stable
platform. The beauty of
this harness is that it
is patently as effective
as a sling as used in
competitive shooting,
but, unlike those for
competition use, this
harness arrangement
doesn't involve the
shooter's left arm. The
tension from the
connecting strap
emanates from its pull
upward from against the
lower body. There is a
good deal of aiming
flexibility and shooter
comfort is considerably
improved over a standard
sling. The Tubb Tactical
Vest is adaptable for
use in positions other
than prone, something a
bipod cannot do. Without
a supporting aid like
this harness, the
tactical shooter is at a
distinct disadvantage
when he is forced to
shoot from any position
that doesn't allow him
to use his bipod. With
the harness in use, and
a little practice, it's
easily possible to fire
prone-quality shots from
a sitting, kneeling, or
even offhand position
(especially if the
shooter has access to a
barricade or anything he
can lean against). As
with competition-style
prone shooting, I find
that I can shoot better
shots much more quickly
when I hold onto the
rifle with my left hand.
I grasp the T2K at its
forward receiver area,
and am exerting a fair
amount of pressure. This
greatly enhances control
over the rifle in recoil
and reacquiring the
sight for follow up
shots.
The
Tubb Tactical Vest is
available in long or
short sleeve
configurations and a
choice of multiple
colors. Its shell is a
heavy weight Cordura
nylon and it's fully
lined with canvas (and
also padded like a
competition coat). It
has ventilation under
the arms and is quite
comfortable to wear even
on a hot day. Leather is
also
available.
We
added a convenient
magazine pouch that is
large enough to
accommodate .308 sized
magazines, and even
included a hydration
system to aid the
shooter's comfort if he
has to be in position
for an extended time. It
is constructed with the
same materials and
quality as found in
Creedmoor Sports top of
the line competition
shooting coats (the same
ones I wear).
The
Tactical Vest attaches
to the shooter's belt
via nylon straps and
doubles as an
outstanding
transportation vehicle.
The rifle may be quite
easily and comfortably
carried -- in complete
security -- using the
Tactical Vest, yet
deployment is extremely
quick.
I
think that if you will
try this piece of gear
just once you'll find it
to be one of those
things you'll never let
go of.
