any input on shotgun slings

[sharona]

I'm Looking for a new sling for one of my hunting shotguns.I prefer the two point sling. Anyone have good recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I actually don't use a sling on a hunting shotgun. I find myself carrying it on my shoulder instead of low ready.......When hunting rabbits and pheasant and small game that's bad! Took me one missed shot on a rabbit that tore out of a brush pile for me to take the sling off.

Get it with quick detach swivels, so as whacko says, it wont interfere in the brush, but you can "sling arms" when you want.

You don't need anything fancy, as you're not using it like a rifleman on the line, offhand.

Walmart has them, for ~$10.

I bought 2 camo northerflight padded slings from the online bargain cave at cabelas

I truly love them, padded enough to be comfy but not to much to be intrusive, have them on my deer gun and my duck gun

seem to be well made

I have no idea who made the one on my 870
It's leather well made and has a wide section.
It's comfortable and works. Although now 20 plus years later it's actually starting to grow a little bit of something on it.

I take the Vickers sling off one of the ARs:

With the equivalent of one of these sling mounts on the butt:

And one of these up front:

Weight's distributed well so it never feels heavy, hangs in front where I can get to it for a snap shot, and I don't have to hold onto a sling to keep it on me. Much easier ducking under branches without a barrel sticking up over my head. In theory there's a higher risk of plugging the barrel if I took a fall with the barrel pointed down, but in practice it hasn't happened in 5 years of slipping, sliding and falling in the woods, swamps and fields. I carry one of those segmented M16 cleaning rods with me in case it happens.

I keep a no-swivel slip on sling in my bird vest for when I'm tired and have a long slog ahead of me.
Doesn't get much use, but when wanted it's mighty welcome.
