The Bugle Keeper
When quick deployment is the name of the game look no further than the RPO Bugle Keeper! This piece uses strong magnets to attach your bugle to your belt, pack, or anywhere with exposed webbing. Fits most standard bugle tubes, this offers quick attachment and detachment with the magnetic fixture. This also has an option to use the attached shock chord to have a strong attachment when you’re diving through the brush. The bugle wrap has an elastic strip that can hold one diaphragm call and a small section of Molle so you can attach your diaphragm call keeper directly to your bugle.
