Sling Lenght...?

[Tiercel]

Nah, 1 point sling all the way! None of this wierd gun bondage faffery. 

And I can just drop my rifle, it swooshes down to my side like a proper gucci smooth operator.

Apart from the time I forgot I had lent the sling to someone else and wasnt wearing one and just dropped it straight on the concrete ground and everyone just stared at me like I was some kind of mad man... BUT other than that it looks proper cool like.

2 point all day

1 point sling all the way!

If only there were some sort of solution that can give the benefits of both. ?

... and also give you something to fiddle with while you're kicking your heels in the spawn point for 10 minutes after "Let's go, last chance or we start without you" has been shouted.

Too much effort, and cant be quick-swapped between guns. Im not made of money not buying a sling for each toy

All you need for multiple slings for the same or less than the price of a single sling

Fucking around trying to clip them back up was an utter nause, especially in the rain. 

Ran one on my C8 last weekend, and genuinely there was a point where I was kneeling there trying to clip the damn thing back together thinking "why did I not just put the slingster on it.."

Slingster ftw ??

Personally the setup/carry method I'd recommend everyone to at least try for most circumstances is one that's considered 'the standard' by pretty much everyone I know of who's seriously worth listening to.  You attach to the outboard side of your stock right at the back, then inboard on the handguard wherever suits but generally about as far forward as possible; then route the sling over your dominant shoulder and under your off-side arm pit.

I used to like him in the early days when he talked about nylon gear, boots etc, but a lot of the videos in the past couple of years have been more like demolition ranch.  Not a dig people can enjoy what they like, but it's not really for me anymore (mostly).

That setup is actually mega common, certainly in a recent history context, but it's one of those things that's so basic that it's not 'cool' and doesn't get highlighted much; kinda taken as read type type info, even though it isn't.  By far the best social media account I know of right now is this one (was a post there made me switch to said sling config) - https://www.instagram.com/redbeardtactical.de/

It's just not at all relevant 90% of the time if you're someone purely interested in playing skirmishes with bb guns.

@TheFull9 it's weird, I know that's the right way to use a sling, but I've got too used to doing it the wrong way.  Maybe I need to wander around the house with a slung rifle until it feels normal.   A few days might do the trick 

Separately...  with a heartfelt 'pretty please', could @LzChase please fix the typo in the thread title, it triggers my OCD (or something similar) every time I see this thread show up on the activity page

I like a 1-point attach at the stock base for indoor only games sometimes, but that's because indoor airsoft is very much getting in to the realms of a sport and is extra far removed from almost anything that'd probably happen in real life.

Same goes for outdoor. Airsoft is a silly game and it has nothing to do with reality or real life. Any half decent rifleman puts anyone into their wooden pyjama in a milisecond several hundreds yard away just using 5.45/5.56... In airsoft everything is cover in reality it's concealment at best.

It doesn't matter how much money you spent on your gear or how much training you get (proper military training not airsoft training lol ?) when you're blown to pieces before you're able to pull the trigger or see your enemy. This war in Ukraine shows to everyone what happens when you stand up against a country like Russia.

Not what I was saying at all, impressive leap though.  It's a forum thread about slings, relax.

I'm afraid I can't offer much advice here. I've never used a C-clamp and I normally only use a sling to carry a rifle on my back.

 

[Madhouse]

Wear it in whatever way feels most comfortable to you.

That said, I use a Slingster ?

 

[RostokMcSpoons]

I did some testing with my primary gat for Sunday's game, gave me a chance to experiment with my slingster. 
I haven't got a proper spare sling attachment on stock end of the gun at the moment, but I threaded it through a built-in loop on my PTS stock, and had it sitting on the outside.  And then I tried the 'proper' method, and damn, yes, the gun hangs much tighter to the body (especially when it's basically vertical), it's much easier to get it tucked under the left arm to completely free up the pistol hand too... I'll definitely train myself to stick to it now.  
(And I'll order a QD sling attachment for my stock)

Glad you’re getting on with the slingster ?? really happy with mine.

How about in the blackness of an underground bunker after tossing a flashbang down the corridor ?
