Shotgun Slings

[Toepopper]

I noticed at the local 3 gun shoot that I was the only participant using a sling on my 12 guage. People ask me why bother with a sling? My primary reason for the sling is so it can be removed in an emergency and used as a tourniquet if someone gets shot in a limb by accident, despite all of our precautionary safety rules and procedures. Plus its always nice to be able to sling the shotgun over the shoulder while traversing across uneven hilly terrain. Surplus military rifle slings can be bought at gun shows and they are inexpensive. These slings are made from a green woven canvas type material and have metalic buckles to hold the sling to any length you want. If you get them muddy they can be removed and thrown in with the rest of the laundry, then hung up to dry.
