Introducing our new Competitor Plus Sling, which is a perfect match for those who appreciate high-quality leather, craftsmanship, and functionality. With our no-compromise reproduction of the original 1907 Military Sling, you will get an excellent shooting companion, which is sought after by gun collectors, restorers, hunters, and hi-power service rifle shooters.
Our sling is made entirely in the USA from the finest top-grain, oak-tanned, U.S. steer hide. It comes with thick, blued steel hooks, each attached with three rivets. The keepers are tightly stitched to ensure that the sling will not slip or move during use. We have eliminated all the shortcomings of the current crop of '07 copies and convinced our sling maker to create a better product.
The leather we use is heavy-weight, 9-10 ounce, and tanned correctly for sling use. It offers maximum flexibility, stability, and toughness without stretching or becoming oily. The oak tannage process is free of chromic salts, which cause tarnish and corrosion on any metal the leather touches. We have given it a smooth, burnished finish which highlights the natural grain of this high-quality leather. Our Competitor Plus Sling can bend and twist for a tight grip with no splitting or cracking, even across the holes, with no more than the barest minimum of medium tanning oil being added during the process.
The thick, blued steel hooks are locked onto the leather with three hand-hammered, copper rivets that keep the hooks from bending under pressure. The hooks fit their holes tightly with no slop, ensuring that there are no accidental unhookings.
The keepers are designed to fit and grab straps tightly, skived at a taper, overlapped, and then glued and stitched with 5-cord waxed linen thread. They will hold your adjustments, eliminating the need to fiddle with the sling during use.
With a Competitor Plus Sling, you will get a traditional field sling, which offers more service for a more extended period. It is an excellent replacement for restorations, coupled with more authenticity. It scores higher in matches by eliminating concentration-breaking sources of problems. So, spend your time glassing for game, paying attention to the wind, or focusing on sight picture and trigger squeeze rather than fiddling with the sling.
We offer our Competitor Plus Sling at a slightly higher price, but we honestly believe that the exceptional quality is worth the investment. Our sixteen numbered reference points make it easy for you to return to your sling setting for each shooting position.
