Having the top of the Hip Stick at top of shoulder height prevents pulling down on the shoulder.

Hi Chet, may I have a small clarification on this? I have the hipstick attached to a D-ring a few inches below the top of my shoulder, it's where it was sewn onto the harness, and it does pull a bit on the shoulder. Are you saying that if I attach the Hipstick higher up at the top of shoulder height, it will pull less on the shoulder? (I was lucky and had a slightly longer extra shaft to work with).

I quickly tried it and it does seem to pull slightly less but I'm not in the field with all my junk on.

Thank you!

Having the D-ring positioned higher on top of the shoulder puts more of  the load onto the back of the shoulder or even a lifting effect on the back strap instead of having a downward  load similar to a backpack load.

I just tried it Chet and I agree.
In my opinion you have made a valuable point of information for using the Hipstick.
