ABSTRACT:
A sling for a shoulder fired weapon is described having semi-permanent pre-adjustments to quickly accommodate both carrying and shooting modes. The sling includes: (i) a forward section attached to a forward swivel or ring of the weapon, (ii) a rear section nearest to the butt of the weapon and (iii) an anchor attached about a part of the user's body, usually his arm. The forward section is attached to the forward swivel using a hook-and-pile fastener wherein the length of the forward section is rapidly adjustable, and also includes either a male or a female quick coupler attached at a second end. The rear section is attached to the rear swivel of the weapon via a conventional buckle fastener that provides adjustments in the length of the rear section, and also includes a complementary female or male quick coupler having a recess mated to disconnectably connect to the male or female quick coupler of the forward section. The anchor is usually attached to the user's arm, and includes a complementary quick coupler matched to the complementary quick coupler of the rear section. The anchor can include various types of fasteners to effect attachment to the user. E.g., a conventional hook-pile fastener can be used in association with a ladderlock buckle to provide adjustments in the circumference of the anchor to attain a correct shooting mode for the weapon irrespective of the type of clothes worn by or the physical characteristics of the user or the amount of tension placed on the attached couplers.
