Hello all,
This is a duplicate post of sorts but not all of us are prone to reading the backpacking forum or run through the classified section.
So I apologize if you feel I have wasted your time
About 2 years ago a friend of mine in Colorado suggested that there has to be a better way to carry a rifle slung on ones shoulder. Whatever this was it needed to be lightweight and rust proof. We both agree that it was to be attached to a pack strap so it would never be forgotten at the truck or camp and used as an intergal part of your daily gear.
Two years of testing "mostly in the mountains of Colorado" and 6 prototypes later and we believe to have reached the right balance of ultra lightweight, rust proof and most of all simple pure function.
100% rustproof the Sling Stud is made of CNC lathe turned and bead blasted 6061 aircraft aluminum held in place with a single stainless steel screw.....100% made in the USA......South East Mo
Once in place it becomes part of the shoulder strap and will not allow your slug rifle to slip, slide or fall off your shoulder.
Extremely strong, ridged and totally ambidextrous it is also easy to install and comes with complete instructions.
$40 shipped to any of the 50 states with shipping available to just about anywhere for additional postage.
Paypal, checks or money orders accepted

Will that keep the gun upright and not tilt to stick in the guys face behind you?
That's the complaint I have hunting with others that sling their rifles. Then they get P'd because I'm 40 feet behind them.
I won't have a sling on my guns. Had one hanging while sneaking up on a 6pt bull elk. Damned thing hooked a stob on a tree and dumped my ass. Far as I know the slings still in the brush there! Spooked the bull of course.
Good luck on sales.

If you don't use a sling then my product can't be of any interest to you but I do have a question....
Why on Earth did you have a slung rifle on your shoulder during a stalk?
Slings are a useful tool when a hunter is glassing, using trekking poles and not to forget aiding with a steady aim.
I'm sure there are other good reasons to use a sling.

AnotherAZWriterI use my cross strap for the same purpose, although your solution is much faster and keeps the sling higher on your shoulder.
Have you applied for a patent? If that is successful there are going to be all kinds of knock offs...

ted thornYes I have applied for and recieved my patent for stainless steel, aluminum and thermoplastic versions.

Hopefully your IP attorney made a list of claims for any kind of material. But you were smart to get one.
