One of the best features of the Tipton or the Case Guard is the removable stands. They fit inside and allow for transport in your luggage without taking up much room if you were to fly to a match.
Last year at the Nats, my PVC pipe carrier that I had for years got crushed inside my suitcase by the airlines. In a panic, i darted to the local Bass Pro, and picked up the Tripton. Drilled four holes, and fed through the rope. Baaaam! in less than 15 minutes i was operational again. Must say, its a pretty smoking deal for what you pay for what it does.
There are so many ideas out there, wood, PVC, aluminum, i think thats one of the most fun about customizing. I eventually made a golf cart thing to carry my guns, air, cooler, chair, jacket, and lunch. we have a dude here that made a electrical bike side cart that holds his equip, and a full size 7ft wide patio umbrella.
Good luck!
Garrett
