ABSTRACT:
A sling assembly for use in carrying shoulder weapons, such as hunting rifles, in a horizontal ready position. A sling strap is connected to sling swivels mounted on the weapon in the conventional positions at the bottom of the butt stock and forestock, by loops which encircle the butt stock and the front portion of the weapon. The rear part of the sling strap is fixed to the rear loop, which is long enough to surround the butt stock and to slip rearwardly off the butt stock as the weapon is raised to the shooter's shoulder. The front end of the strap is free to hang down beside the front portion of the weapon with only the front loop around the top of the weapon, where it does not interfere with use of the sights. Various ways are disclosed to attach the loops to sling swivels or to a handguard on the front portion of the weapon. In one embodiment a slide fastener holds the sling strap at a desired length but is adjustable using only one hand.
