ARs, slings, and boobs

Having an issue getting my wife a proper sling.

Rifle is a light AR with QDs on forearm and receiver endplate.

We tried my 3-point SOP sling - nope.
I got a convertible 2-to-1 point sling - nope.

Only thing that was comfortable is patrol carry, but with the sling tight enough that she can't bring to bear easily. Which is another issue, because the red-dot cowitnessing the irons is apparently too low for her cross-eye dominant shooting.

Problem is apparently that she's fairly large in the bosom department (Way past department store sizes) and nothing works around her body shape.

Any ideas, girls? Or any offers to take her shooting? Being her husband, it doesn't matter if I was the best instructor in the world (and I know the same is true in converse, not worried about that).

its not as nice as it looks but have you tried the single point with the bungee cord? whats it callled? my problem with it is you never know when you are pointing it at your feet and if you bend over the barrel is in the dirt.

I wish the pink Valkyries were still around, they've been scarce for a LONG time being busy in the real world. They might have had some info for you on this subject, maybe somebody else is lurking with some answers...

I will try to reach the Mod gals but I can't make any promises on reaching them.

The sling on there now converts from a two point to a single point like the bungee versions; still not a good fit.

Thanks for trying to round up the ladymods for some imput... all my female shooter friends are 10 years younger and thinner than my wife so they're no help.
