A Sling Is Not An Accessory - NSSF Shooting Sportscast

[HunterKiller308]

good basics video, but why are you leaning your rifles in that stand upside down?

[TheNSSF]

@HunterKiller308 That's how they rack the guns at Gunsite. I guess that way you don't put your head over the loud end of the gun when you're picking it up.

Add a Mount-N-Slot Tri-Glide to that Viking Tactical or other 2 point slings with Mash hooks, HK, or QD attachments, and get a convertible two-point to single-point sling. Best of both worlds.

Good advice but use another term other than "weapon" when speaking about modern sporting rifles.

[AngeredKabar]

@37horseheaven These are weapons. They are to be treated like weapons. Firearms are weapons. Knives are weapons. Sugar coating does nobody any good.

we all need more and new training.........

you may have forgotten to mention that a sling can be used as an extra brace while firing.

When I was in the infantry, we only had the standard two point web sling (M16A2). We were only allowed to use it for parades. Reasons - it conditioned us to carry the weapon at the ready continuously, and it eliminated rattling. I wish we had single point and double point slings like this back then... I use a single point on my AR now.
