JD’s Custom Design new Gen 4 FT wheels are now shipping (pics)

After months on the “drawing board” Joe Garland of JD’s Custom Designs is at it again! Never satisfied with the status quo in other traditional FT wheels, he has listened to you and incorporated a lot of your requests and needs into the new Gen 4 model.

The Gen 4 will incorporate new materials reducing overall weight, improved durability and increased ruggedness. In the Gen 4 series you will also see a much stronger magnet system keeping the wheel on the hub even in the most challenging shooting environments.

So does your current FT wheel limit you easy access to the illumination switch on your scope?

Do you find yourself having to remove the wheel to gain access or struggle to get your fingers on the knob?

Not any more!

One of the coolest features I believe is, the new design will allow those shooters who require easy access to the on/off switch of the reticle illumination a quick and easy solution and not have to remove the wheel!

I’m told he has the NMFS material units in stock and the aluminum units are soon to follow as the are a lot more time consuming to manufacture than the NMFS material ones and he wanted to get this new material and design in your hands and on your scope ASAP.

I’m sure you know not all scopes have the same or even close to the same depth of field. Sometimes even within the same brand of scope. You may find you and your scope need a wider arc with larger spacing on the near targets while the brand of scope your buddy is using really need a wider spacing between his ranges beyond 45+ yards. This may affect and/or determine the arc and the radius of the wheel that will give you the advantage over other brands.

I ordered a sampling of these wheels so I can share with you all the cool features and hopefully explain in simple terms which model wheel will work best for you brand or model of scope.

A video will soon follow (I’ll post the link once I’ve finished) but if you know what your needs are, Joe tells me he has a good selection of the Gen 4 in NMFS material ready to ship.

He also tells me he has a brand new design also available called the Battle Axe because of its shape.

Here are pics of the shapes. And by the way, as in his earlier designs, with only one hub you can mount any and all wheels so you can experiment with what shape maximizes the parallax adjustments of your particular scope.
