Sling

Post by Onetimeonly x--> »

Not happy with the Sling I have, the material on the padding is way to noisy!
The Sling doesn't have quick-detach swivels. Poor purchase :(
Is the material on the Excal sling quiet? Looking for different options and
has anyone seen or used the Sling/Pack by GamePlan 'Crossover' Crossbow Pack.

I am using the same one i use on my shotguns and rifles...Butler creeks comfort stretch sling. Quiet, comfy and makes your weapon feel a lot lighter!..i highly recommend it. cost is about 20 bucks too. Buy the quick detach swivels too.

I think the best quick detach swivels are Uncle Mike's. They are a bit pricey but they worth every penny. You'll be able to use them on any of your crossbow or rifle. Built to last a lifetime ! http://www.uncle-mikes.com/

I use a Remington Yukon sling, good quality for the price. Neoprene is thick enough for comfort, length of sling is long enough for a lot of efficiency on a Max or a Nox. It adjusts real quick. Very silent. Available in black or Mossy Oak.

The official Excalibur is nice but some might think it's a little bit too short. Nice finish tho, with a great non-slippery rubber back.

I use a beautiful Browning leather sling on the Relayer, but it's more a matter of style than efficiency.

Take a gander at The Claw. Quiet, light and don't slip om shoulder like nylon, leather.

Sling solved, cut camo patterned Lanyard, flattened ends with lighter and tied a Quarter size loop to each sling post on Xbow.
Took an adjustable shoulder strap with plastic clips on each end from a large Duffle bag (unused). Clipped strap to loops on Xbow- sling.
Quick on and off no metal to metal. Works well!
