I enjoy it each and every time. I own three of your C1 Rifle Shell Holders. One for each caliber of rifle I own to hunt game all over the world. I have had them hiking in the mountains and crawling across the prairies.They have yet to fail me by not keeping ammo quite or readily at my finger tips. Secondly I own a Quick Set Sling and again it performed as you stated. Its comfortable, easily adjusted, and with absolute silence from the tactical swivels. Whatever formula you have for making such a durable, reliable, and quality product that performs as it should, do not change it. Your products have helped me achieve success more than once. Thank you for making such a great product that will last a lifetime. Best Regards, Andre Pierre  Hello Dick, Enclosed is a picture of nice Alberta whitetail. Thank You for making a quality shell holder. Up in the North Country sound travels. Your shell holders keep the cartridges rattle free and protect them. You have to keep your noise to a minimum up in that big bush country. And they are made in the Good Old U.S.A. Thanks, Mark Frazier Hello Mr. Murray, Happy 4th of July and may God bless you and all of America!!! By looking at your web page I suspect we are both also praying that our great country turns back to the founding principals of the constitution and the rewards of a capitalistic society. Hey, I have a question. My wife and I both have your A-1 quick set rifle slings on our guns. They are approximately 20-22 years old and I got them with some used guns I bought in the early 90's. Nothing even comes close to this sling!!! It is the best!!! These slings are so old that we could not read the imprint of your company name on them any more. Recently my 16 year old daughter got a new 30.06 for her birthday and she figured out the name of your company through some research and good eyes being able to read what was left on the leather of our slings. I have an 18 year son and three daughters ages 16, 10, and 8. Michael shoots a 7mm, Megan a .243 and 30.06, Marci a .243, and Maria shoots a 22.250. My wife shoots a .243. Here's our problem....our kids keep stealing our Murray slings off our guns when they head to the deer stands, leaving Jane and I to put on a piece of junk sling. Every time I turn around a different rifle has one of the two slings we have of yours. My wife and I have laid down the law with the kids this year....no taking our slings off our guns! Well, the kids all said they wanted to spend some of their Christmas and birthday money on slings like ours if we could find who made them. They were all excited that we just found your web site yesterday. They will be buying the slings themselves. Here's the question they have for you. Is there any sort of discount for multiple orders for your slings? They're trying to make their dollars stretch and wondered if I could ask. Megan's 30,06 is a stainless barrel and she wondered if your quick set sling still comes with the silver slide (like ours have) rather than the black slide. All the kids want the brown leather since none of their guns are synthetic stock but Megan wondered about the silver "buckle" slide. The kids figured the worst you could say to a discount for multiple slings is no. Thanks for an amazing product. I have mine on my G McMillan 300 win mag and she has hers on her Ruger .243. We have hunted with them since the early 90's and they still function as good as the first day we used them...and they were used then. Now that I have your web page, we will be telling all of our hunting friends to look you up and buy one!! Thanks a ton for the best sling on the market. Nothing else comes close. Regards and Blessings, Michael Gabrielse New Life Outdoors Spring, Texas  Dear Dick, Firstly thanks for a great product. Secondly sorry for the delay but I have just gotten back to Tanzania where all my equipment is. I have attached photos of the belt that I was wearing the day I was gored by the Buffalo. You can clearly see where the point of the Buffalo`s horn went into the belt. If I had not been wearing one of your belts which is made of exceptional quality leather, the Buffalo`s horn would have penetrated my stomach and I would not be around to thank you. Best Regards Martin Nel  Dear Mr. Murray, Here is a picture of your Quick Set Rifle Sling on my 375 H&H Ruger. I gave the sling quite a workout in Zimbabwe earlier this month and was very pleased with its comfort, stability and super easy adjustment. Thanks for a great product! W.V. 
African hunter, James Sanders, departing for a morning hunt.  Veteran hunter James Sanders posing with his morning trophy, stated that he used his Murray Quickset Sling with great success on his African safari. Dick, I wanted you to know the A-1 exceeded my expectations! It was very obvious by studying the workmanship on the sling, you are using your God given talents. Thanks again and may God continue to bless your work, J.H. Dear Mr. Murray, I just received a Murray Rifle Shell Holder for a good friend for Christmas. I am just delighted with the quality of your work. I have been big game hunting for over fifty years and there is one lesson I have learned the hard way. The lesson is that you get exactly what you pay for when any equipment is concerned. The Murray rifle shell holder is perfect. No noise, perfectly sewn and fitted and built to last a lifetime. I intended to buy the best for my friend and it looks like I have succeeded. Sincerely Yours, J.E., Valrico, FL  Mr. Murray, Thanks again for the quality materials and craftsmanship you put into your leather gear. The padded thumb hole sling makes carrying my 300 SA Ultra Mag effortless after a long week bear hunting, and having a few extra rounds in the Butt Stock Shell Holder, sure came in handy on this 323# Trophy Russian Boar hunt.
