Important Things to Consider When Buying a Rifle Sling
Buying a rifle sling is one of the most important accessories you can
buy. For those who shot weapons in the military know the simple rifle
sling will allow you to steady the weapon and keep it from shaking,
allow you to easily transport the rifle over your shoulder, and many
other benefits. A rifle without a good sling is practically worthless in
most situations. Sure you can shoot the gun without a sling but how
accurate will it be if you are tired from carrying the rifle like a
British soldier during the Revolutionary War?
There are many things you should consider when buying a sling. Here are some of the most important.
Padding
Is the sling padded? If it is just a piece of fabric with no padding
then it will dig into your shoulder and be extremely uncomfortable.
Quality
You also need to ensure that the quality of the sling is high. A cheaply
made sling will often have threading that comes loose and then
eventually ruins the entire sling.
Single Point or Double Point Sling?
Single point slings are often used by the Military, especially in urban
warfare situations. The single sling makes tactical cornering when
searching buildings to be done easier. Single point designs are also
good for people who simply like to carry their rifle this way. You may
have gotten used to carrying your rifle in the military this way and
simply prefer this rifle carrying method for both comfort and tactical
reasons.
