Anyone have pictures of a right handed shooter using a single point sling, both using the rifle and in transition to side arm? I am thinking of installing one, and am trying to figure out which direction the sling would be "slung" in, and the best way to transition to side arm to keep the rifle out of the way. And yes, I've seen the Blackhawk belt-catch thingy, and that's not what I'm interested in. Thanks! |

What's a good way to have the rifle stay put when using a single-point, right hand "drop", after sweeping the rifle to the rear? I have noticed the rifle stays in back better when I tighten the single point up a lot, which puts the buttstock up higher on my body. Using a 6 position RRA stock, at the first notch out from full closed. I might be asking for too much out of a simple setup, but how do you prevent the rifle from swinging around while moving and during weapon transition? The Blackhawk belt-keeper thing is out of the question, because it looks like it would take a few more seconds to get the rifle in the keeper, thus negating the fast weapon transition. |
| The ideal length for the sling is when the rifle is slung over your left shoulder/right side of neck (for right handed users), the butt of the stock should be 2 fists lower than your chin when looking straight ahead. When transitioning, move the rifle with weak hand to left side and draw handgun with right hand. After using a single-point sling in 2 carbine classes, I don't use one anymore. They allow the rifle to move around too much when it's not shouldered. It has it's place though. |

I just installed a Troy Single Point on my main AR. So far, still undesided. Previous to this I used a Giles Three Point for years and loved it. With either the Three Point or the Single Point, I kind of sling it backwards, particularly because of Transitions to Pistol. With either, instead of a right haded shooter looping their right arm and head through the sling, loop your left arm and head through. This will cause the rifle to drop straight south or even slightly to the left, clearing the holster on the right side completely. Just my experience |
