Got bored today, figured I'd whip up this wrist strap. I was getting tired of having to put down my stan between, after, really just anytime between the shots and reloads. This is just a quick jobie but I actually really like it, not to cumbersome, just right. The colors are funky but they can always be changed.


Just slide the braided section up and down to adjust the tightness for removal.

Let me know what you guys think.


Thanks for looking..

I shoot a Carter Chocolate and it has a small hole in the trigger like your Stan. I have mine on a lanyard around my neck. I have thousands of shots with it and no problems. Yours is nice but consider a lanyard. Nothing dangling from your wrist and still easy to find. I was concerned about getting something wrapped up in the string at first. I use a 3/16" main string and step that down to 1/16" to hook up the release.

nice, clever.

Is it a thumb trigger or back tension release? Like others have said, I guess the question is it a potential risk where you have it?


It blows my mind that so many hand held releases DON'T come with a lanyard hole.

I'm currently using a 4 finger Tru Ball Max Pro 4, and not lanyard hole. Actually lost the first one (bye bye 100$ dollars), cuz I had it clipped on my d-loop and guess i bumped the trigger.

So I bought a Tru Fire Edge, 4 finger and it DID have a lanyard hole but almost at the very bottom were the pinky finger goes. Ended up returning it for another max pro 4 but I carefully drille a hole in the same place as the Edge.

well out of the way of any moving parts.

here's a couple pics. I've since changed the weave to a snake knot and instead of using a slide to tighten it, I came up with the idea of cutting a smallish bungee cord cuz so now don't have to tighten it and it comes off and on super easy.

Like you, very annoying to have to take it off and on all the time. some pics......
