Shotgun Sling

[Phil C]

I wil be heading over to New Mexico in two weeks to hunt turkeys again this year. I will use one of my 8 gauges which I found to be a little on the heavy side for chasing spring birds last year. I am thinking of buying, or having a leather sling made and am looking for ideas. I found two listed on the Galazan site. One attaches to the barrels and wrist, the other the barrels and attaches to the butt with a cradle of sorts. Your feedback on these two slings or pictures of ones you might use would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Phil, I ordered one from Galazan last Oct and they finally shipoed it lask week. I should have in a day or two. I bought the one that cradles the butt instead of the one that wraps around the wrist. I did'nt want a piece of leather that could cause me to get a bad grip on the gun.

phil i can tell you if the loop on the sling goes all the way around the barrels it interfers with sight piture down the barrels..let us know and post pictures of the sling you decide to use..these old 8 ga s are heavy to lug around they make me think the old tens ive got are light guns..good luck on the hunt and we need to hear and see a good storey...what size and ounce of shot you a useing in the old 8.... charlie

I'll let you know Phil. I did'nt think about the part that wraps around the bbl interfering with the sight picture. I let you know as soon as I get the sling.

The boys are right about the sight picture ,I use one of these to walk out of the barrens after a long day...it's either that or drag my knuckles at the end of the day, you don't shoot with them on , but that's the idea...quick on quick off

Ideal IMO for lugging heavy guns to and from the blind

Oh, good because that's what I was gonna use it for. Now I just have to remember to remove it once I get there.

Angel,
Did the sling arrive? How do you like it if it did?
Thanks Phil

Holy smoke! i just realized I did not get it yet. I'll give them a call

[Angel Cruz Ortiz]

Well, I just got a different story and I have to call Monday and talk to Bob. They claim they got the wrong slings and they were supposed to get the right ones. Amazing!!!
