Gun Slings

I need a new gun sling.....currently use a neoprene one (forget brand) but my gun won't stay put on my shoulder with a crap. It's even worse if I'm wearing a backpack or turkey vest. The one I have is neoprene with little rubber bumps all over it but they dont hold worth a crap.

What do yall recommend for something that'll stay put?

first off, don't put it on your shoulder with a crap.... :

But I don't have any trouble with the cheaper nylon ones if they have a pad.

I like the Allen neoprene slings. All sling hardware is metal, no plastic, which I like. Not expensive either. You can find them at Simmons and probably other local stores.

Slogan sling absolutely won't slip. Best I have ever tried, but they smell like a tire.

Last couple I have bought were Limbsaver Kodiak, and they work great. Not as good as the Slogan, but better than anything else I have tried.

The claw

Safari Sling. If you ever use one you'll never go back to a shoulder sling. I have several and some of the guys on here have taken my advice and told me they really like them as well. You won't beat your gun up the stand on your back and the weapon is ready to bring into firing position.

+1 ==== easy on and off, plus, I can set it to get my elbow into very easy for getting it up and stabilized.

Leather

For my 'pretty' guns with wood and blued steel, I like leather also. My favorite is the Brownells Latigo sling.

Fact is, I rarely have my rifle slung on my shoulder. Usually carry it in my hands due to having a stand or pack on my back, and I like having a gun ready to shoulder. I've shot a few with my climbing stand still on my back.

I've got three of them and about to buy another one. Best on the market in my opinion.

Quake slings. Holds really well to shoulder and doesn't slip off. Got one in brown to match my gun better than black.

The old Mountain stalker or going to a two-point, chest carry, tactical style gives you all that and lots of ready options. Proble with hand carry is being a one-armed task master when doing other stuff, OR grounding your gun. That’s no bueno....especially when water, mud, dogs, quick shots, etc are involved.

Whatever sling you go with, check out the Frankenstud sling keeper. Pretty handy invention. After you use one you’ll wonder why all backpack straps don’t have that as factory option.

Gomer u need to get a gungee sling. First sling I have ever had to no want to slide off!! Made here in Alabama as well. Look them up on FB

Da claw

The Claw on my hunting rifles . I've also got a Avery on my Shotgun that I like a lot .

Have a cheap one but probly the best I've ever had for non-slippage.Made by butler creek.Can't find a model name/number but is rubber/nylon in realtree camo with rifle shell holders on the shoulder pad. $20 at wal-mart. Also extremely comfortable.

Pretty simple solution there. But damn, $45?

I like a thin leather strap about 1 inch wide. Difficult to find. But works better than any of the fancy ones I’ve tried. I have taken an old belt and made it into a sling. It was the best I’ve used.

Holy chit....I had no clue he was getting $45/ea for them now. When he first came up with the idea they were 2/$30. Must be catering to that high society crowd.

I have an Allen BakTrak that I am very happy with.

I found that the butler creek sling was referring to earlier is called comfort stretch. You can get a 1" wide leather sling through AA&E leather craft. Have a couple of those thats been around here for 35 years at least & no such thing as wearing them out.

I can't stand a loose sling. I have Browning X-Cellerator slings on all my rifles and shotguns. It's one hand adjustable, so it cinches tight to my weapon when I take it off my shoulder. Or it can be quickly and easily let out as a shooting aid for offhand shots.

Outdoor connection super sling is my favorite so far.no rubber or neoprene crap and it's cheap
