Here is how I carry mine! I hated the string that was on it! I used a key chain ring and a small snap buckle! I used taxidermy waxed string to sew short strap and one end of buckle to edge of my harness! I did a cobra weave with paracord with other half of snap on one end and ring on other attached to range finder! I just take it out of my pack and snap it on, it fits behind waist belt of harness and ready to pull out and use !
