Adjustable Shooting Strap With Cam Buckles For Recoil Stabilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shooting straps fail to provide adequate stabilization for firearms in various shooting positions, lacking an adjustable mechanism to effectively manage tension and reduce recoil.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable shooting strap with a weapon interface section, strap section, and carabiner strap section, featuring interchangeable buckles and a cam buckle system for fine and gross adjustments, allowing for versatile attachment to firearms in different positions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed shooting strap is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot stabilize the firearm in various shooting positions
Solution Approach 1:
The shooting strap is divided into multiple adjustable sections with separate buckles and adjustment mechanisms. The strap includes a first section with a first buckle and a second section with a second buckle, allowing independent adjustment of each segment to accommodate different shooting positions and body types.
Solution Approach 2:
The strap incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through cam buckles and sliding mechanisms that allow the shooter to modify the strap length and tension during use. The cam buckle mechanism enables quick adjustment of the strap configuration to match different shooting stances and positions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If an adjustable mechanism is added to the strap, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The buckles and adjustment mechanisms are designed to serve multiple functions: they adjust strap length, control tension, and accommodate different shooting positions. The same buckle components handle both structural support and adjustment operations, reducing the need for separate specialized parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The strap system allows change in critical parameters such as length and tension through standardized adjustment mechanisms. The cam buckle and sliding adjusters enable continuous or discrete parameter changes to optimize the strap configuration for different shooting scenarios without requiring multiple separate straps.
3Force
If the strap provides strong stabilization, then the recoil reduction improves, but the adjustment speed may decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The strap is pre-configured with adjustment mechanisms and buckles in optimal positions that allow quick adjustment during use. The cam buckle and sliding adjusters are designed to be easily accessible and operable without requiring complex manipulation, enabling the shooter to rapidly adjust the strap to the correct tension and position.
Solution Approach 2:
Traditional multi-step mechanical adjustment mechanisms are replaced with simpler cam-based or sliding adjusters that achieve the same adjustment function with fewer steps and less complexity. The cam buckle mechanism uses a cam action that converts rotational motion into linear adjustment, providing quick and precise tension control with minimal effort.

AI summary
An adjustable shooting strap preferably includes a weapon interface section, a strap section and a carabiner strap section. The weapon interface section preferably includes a weapon strap, a first interchangeable weapon interface, a first buckle, a second buckle and a male connection buckle. The strap section preferably includes a lengthwise strap, a female detachable buckle and a cam buckle. A hand loop is created in the lengthwise strap for fine adjustment. The female detachable buckle is sized to receive the male connection buckle. The male connection buckle is retained on a first end of the lengthwise strap. The cam buckle is retained on a second end of the lengthwise strap. The carabiner strap section preferably includes a carabiner, a carabiner strap and a second weapon interface. The adjustable shooting strap may be used in many different shooting positions, such as standing kneeling, or sitting.
