Attention to all lovers of fine leather, craftsmanship, functionality, and usefulness in a sling! The Competitor Plus is here to bring pure joy to you. This is a replica of the original 1907 Military Sling, uncompromised, and upgraded to cater to the preferences of hi-power service rifle shooters, knowledgeable hunters, pre-WWII military firearms restorers and collectors. It is one of the most used slings, having traveled for many miles on numerous shoulders than any other sling.
The Competitor Plus has incredible features that make it standout. Firstly, it is made entirely in the US using the top grain, oak-tanned steer hide. The hooks attached to the sling are made of thick, forged, and blued steel hooked with three rivets, guaranteeing security and stability. The Keepers are tight, stitched, and snug on the leather. This sling is an upgrade from the existing '07 copies in the market.
Our Competitor Plus sling is made of heavy-weight, 9-10 ounce leather tanned appropriately for use as a sling to provide maximum flexibility, stability, toughness, and no stretching or oiliness. The tanning process starts with the complete hide shaved down to even thickness, followed by oak tannage, not chromic salts. Tarnish and corrosion that result from the use of chromic salts on metal that the leather touches are eliminated. Finally, a smooth, burnished finish reveals the natural grain of the high-grade leather. The Competitor Plus Sling leather can bend and twist for a tight grip without cracking, even across the holes, with a minimal amount of medium tanning oil being added during the process.
Our hooks are blued steel of high quality, extra-thick, and locked onto the leather with three hand-hammered copper rivets. Your adjustments and precise shooting positions are secure with the tightly fitting hooks, with no ruining of the positions by rubbery slings.
The keepers are designed to fit and grip the straps tightly. They are skived at a taper, overlapped, glued, and stitched with 5-cord waxed linen thread. The keepers securely hold the adjustments on the sling.
This Competitor Plus sling is not only useful in adjusting your shooting positions but also provides a traditional field sling service for years. Its authenticity even makes it suitable as a replacement for restoration projects. The elimination of the concentration-breaking source of problems guarantees that you can focus on glassing for game, doping the wind or paying attention to sight picture and trigger squeeze instead of fiddling with the sling.
Finally, the Competitor Plus sling comes with sixteen numbered reference points. Returning to your sling setting for each shooting position is now made easy. It may be a little more expensive, but our belief is that you would value the exceptional quality it brings.
