Rifle sling recommendations

[ShaneP]

With the upcoming OKCGC IPSC Rifle match just around the corner, I need to get a sling on order and installed on my rifle. What is everyone using for a competition use sling? If it matters, I have the AP Customs CF handguard with a QD stud, and the ACE ARFX stock that is tapped on either side to accept a stud. Not looking for anything fancy, just something that will not get me DQ'd or cause me to damage my rifle.

Why would you need a sling for a rifle match? Are You wanting extra offhand support?

 

[ShaneP]

Pinto said in the match announcement that we would need a sling for this match.

I don't think a sling is going to be required

Maybe we are going to climb a tower or some monkey bars. That would be fun!

Not sure about that specific match, but I have done rifle matches that had you climbing into a tower, or over walls, etc.

VTAC padded two point.

I use chrome plated barbed wire, makes you look tough.

You still have enemies? You're lazy.

Who am I to believe, you or the guy that is putting on the match?
"You will get dirty, you will need a sling, you will have a blast!!! This won't be a track meet match, but it will be tough nonetheless."
I guess I'll get one so that I'm prepared and if I wind up not using it then I can always sell it on ebay.

Maybe Pinto will chime in. He told me Saturday that we wouldn't be REQUIRED to have one

I know a guy that knows a guy who once sold Pinto a shotgun caddie, and he told me that a rifle sling is not required for this match, but it would be beneficial/recommended to have. Looks like I'll be getting one.

If you want a sling for improving your shooting you probably need to go with the Kurt Miller setup with the Ching Sling deal. It helps stabilize you and the gun.

Not required. Highly recommended for stability on at least one stage.

If it's for stability, forget what I said about VTAC. VTAC is more of a holster for your rifle. Go Bob Sanders-school with a 1903 sling.

Another +1 for the VTAC. I would recommend non-padded if you of smaller build. I am 5'11" 170 and there is no way I would ever be able to get a padded adjusted correctly.

You can use the VTAC for stability you just have to spend some time setting up the sling to work for you.
