How I carry my poles and flags

Just thought a few here might like it. Six flags and six poles all in one hand. I used this setup at a match last weekend. It worked great, and several shooters liked the idea...thought some of you might as well. The longest poles will extend to about 15 feet. I easily carried the case with poles attached and flags inside, downrange, then set them one at a time as I walked back to the firing line. Worked amazingly well! Ezell Neon Windflags

Mike,
very nice looking and well thought out.
You seem to find a way to make things better and run with it.
Your flags speak for themselves.

Thanks John and Dave!
I'd think more people would reply about the case/ pole holder setup. That's pretty cool! I don't care who ya are...and it's match tested. It's not an ad. I can build them, but so can anybody else. I just thought it was a very good idea, and after trying it I wanted to share it with my BR friends. The worst part of this game is the flag setting and packing them up, IMO. Well, there are other things that we do that are tedious, but most can be done in the a/c. Flag setting sucks! This makes it a good bit better, but a remote controlled robot for flag setting would make life just great! :D
Thanks for the comments!
 
You did a nice job. I like the one hand deal.

I modified a tool box to house my flags nicely. But my Ditmar poles are carried loose.
What is the gizzmo that you use to hold the poles to your box?

They are just spring clips from McMaster Carr. I pop riveted them to the case using a washer on each side.
I wouldn't make such a big deal of this, but it worked so well...I thought others might want to try it.
I've wagged poles for several years now..this beats that to death. Frankly, if someone hasn't done this already, I'd be surprised, but I've not seen it.
