AAR Rob Haught Tac Shotgun 9/25-9/26/10, Fuquay-Varina, NC

Rob I was wondering if you had any thoughts on Boonie Packers' "safari" sling for a shotgun?

[Rob Haught]

GJ, Ive not used that particular sling. What you need to remember is that slings are there to do a particular job. To retain, support and make accessable the long gun. Each type does these things to different degrees. How much of each area you need depends on your situation and mission. I dont think there is a "One size fits all" . I would experiment with different models and find what you like best. The good news is slings arent that big of an expense that you cant try out a couple different ones. You can also try out your buddies rigs at the range. A long gun without a sling is like having a handgun without a holster, if you need to use both hands to do something its tougher to shove down your pants!
