I'm Chris Sizelove, and this is the hunting sling. We produce two colors of the hunting sling: Coyote brown and black. What separates the hunting sling from the Vickers Sling is that it's not sizable, but it does have a pull adjuster tab. The pull adjuster tab is right here, and it just slides back and forth. So, we can adjust the length of the sling once it's on the gun.

Also specific to the hunting sling are the heavy-duty side release swivels. We looked around the market, and a lot of these swivels made by different manufacturers are, let's just say, not as heavy-duty as these. These are machined metal, so they’re not going to bend, twist, or snap on you. These are only going to fit on the sling swivel studs found on most common hunting rifles. This is a duck shotgun, and pretty much unequivocally, they always have a front-mounted sling swivel stud. That’s what these heavy-duty side release swivels mount to. They are sewn in, and you can't take them off, but they do a great job of mounting to these sling swivel studs.

Now, to use this sling, first, we’ll talk about how to mount it. Take your heavy-duty side release sling swivel, back it all the way out, push on it, and it'll open up the gate. Now, take that stud, put it through the hole in the sling swivel, close it back up, and then tighten it back down. That’s going to stay on there really well.

I’ve actually mounted these two different ways. Option one for mounting is to have the loop in the front working into the gun, so that you pull it up toward the front of the gun to make it loose, and pull it down to make it tighter. On this hunting shotgun, I’ve reversed that. I pull it down to make it looser and slide it up to make it tighter, depending on your usage techniques for a couple of different shooting and carrying positions with these hunting slings. You can decide which method works best for your rifle setup.

For example, on this deer rifle, I kind of like having it here at the bottom, so I can loosen it a little bit, put a nice V in it, and that works for my arm. I can get into this hasty sling-assisted shooting position and have some good tension right here to help with my stability. On this bird hunting shotgun, I’ve done the reverse, so when I carry it up here and I’m walking across a bird field or whatever, I’ve got my hand down here on the buttstock. If I need to pull this down to make it looser, I can get it off my shoulder and start employing the gun. It works a little better on this bird shotgun.

The choice is yours—two different methods to mount the sling to the rifle for two different effects. That’s the hunting sling.
