FREE RIFLE SLING

[19powell90 89]

Hey lads just thought id share a way of making a rifle sling at very low cost ( if any ). both me and my mate have made one and are perfect!!

 

basically all you do is attach a key ring ( stronger the better ) to each QD stud on your rifle then get the strap off an old laptop bag, rifle bag, shoulder bag etc... (ones with hooks on the end)

 

for example:

 

 

and then hook it onto the keyrings on the stud -------- SORTED a perfect incredibly cheap rifle sling..

 

 

Hope this helps

Matt did that to his axsor a couple of years back, the only problem is you get quite a lot of rattle from the key ring and the hook, and metallic sounds in the field tend to give you away. I found the only way to prevent it was to keep the strap really tight.

the straps mostly found on gun bags, laptop bags etc... have strong plastic hooks and having made two of these i know that they make little to no noise.

 

but thanks for pointing out to other people not to use metal ones

I've got an old belt mounted to my crossbow in exactly this way

What do you use your crossbow for?

 

was thinking of trying a bit of archery hunting but have to be highly skilled lol

Erm... Target practice, 'cos that's all we're allowed to use them for legally in the UK

 

If you're thinking of takeing up bow sports, check out your local archery clubs, there's plenty about but don't expect to get any joy with crossbows from them, they hate the things.....

 

Go on a beginner's course if you can, use their gear and see if you like it before shelling out your own cash on kit

 

Cheers.

love it

 

yeah might give it a go.

 

didnt know it was illegal in the uk, i just saw it on the front cover of magazine.

 

i cant imagine getting a rabbit with an arrow though, plus if you got a squirrel it would probably stick it to the tree lol

 

 

 

thanks

The arrows alone will cost you at least a fiver a pop and for target practice with a high powered crossbow, they'll be past their best after 8 or so shots and that's even if you're useing a proper crossbow rated backstop...

 

For those contries lucky enough to be able to legally use them for hunting, you've also got to factor in the cost of broadheads (hunting arrow tips) and for proper quality ones, not ebay sh*te, you're looking at the same again and you can't really use them again once they've been used in the field. Or so I've been told..... So it's not exactly an economic tool to be shooting something the size of bunnies with, apparently...
