Whilst the reg is in your mouth:
with the right hand (from above the hose) trap the hose and boltsnap body between the index and middle fingers (lie mimicking a pair of scissors)
this leaves the thumb free to manipulate the catch
then slide the head of the boltsnap
UP the right shoulder webbing until it hits metal, when the D-ring is hooked let go of the catch
Hard to explain without visuals, hope that at least helps a bit.......?
I really don't think there is a 'standard method' I find this works consistently for me.
Great description. Sweep up from below the dring, not down from the top. It helps if the shoulder dring is slightly bent so it potrudes from the webbing. It also helps if you have a backup light secured to the same dring, it will hold the dring down, i.e. prevent it from flopping up and down.
I clip my backup light with the "gate" facing in, and my reg with the gate facing "out".
