Two point sling.

Post by toad »

Well the Windham SRC carbon 15 came with a basic nylon sling. I attached it in the traditional manner with the addition of a carbiner on one end to make it quick detach so that it wouldn't get in the way of cleaning. Its not super tacticool but I like being able to sling it muzzle up or muzzle down with out the muzzle pointing at various parts of my anatomy also, given the time and situation I like to form a hasty sling for a bit more precision in my aiming. So I'm wondering what you guys favor and why?

I prefer cotton to nylon. Less likely to slip when I use it for a shooting brace.

I've tried and gotten tangled-up in many different "tactical" slings. My sling drawer is almost as full as my holster drawer. One point, two point, three point. I have yet to see a four point.

I have one of those, and I like it. Quick to adjust. Easy to use.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

Still figuring out how to use that one. I know there are a million guides on how to use it. Anyone got a link to a guide they found particularly useful?

I tried a one point sling...for about 15 minutes. I guess I'm not tactical enough because I couldn't stand the weapon bouncing against my wedding tackle when moving at anything above a slow walking pace.
