Description
The Allen BakTrak Hex Sling is built around one simple idea: keep your rifle where you put it. It starts with ultra-durable, lightweight Hypalon construction, then adds Allen's BakTrak tacky rubber tread on the shoulder side. That grippy panel does the heavy lifting on steep climbs and long walks, holding the sling in place so you're not constantly pushing your gun back up your shoulder. It also cuts down on the noise you get when a slick nylon strap shifts against your jacket.
What Sets the Hex Sling Apart
The standout here is the Hex accessory panel on the face of the sling. It gives you a spot to attach small items like game calls, so the gear you reach for is riding right there instead of buried in a pack. Pair that with the quick-adjust cam-lock buckle and you can change the length on the fly, whether you're shortening up for a fast shot or letting it out to clear a bulky coat in cold weather.
Fit, Adjustment, and Everyday Carry
This sling adjusts from 21 to 42 inches, so it works for just about any body size and layering setup. At 3 inches wide, it spreads the weight of your rifle or shotgun across more of your shoulder, which makes a real difference on those all-day hunts when a skinny strap starts to dig in. The Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo blends in nicely in mixed timber and brush.
Built to Take a Beating
Allen included swivels tested to hold up to 500 pounds, so the attachment points aren't the weak link. Hunters who've run this sling consistently point to how solid the swivels feel and how the tacky backing genuinely stays put without slipping. It's a straightforward, well-made carry option that earns its keep once you get it out in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BakTrak Hex Sling really keep the gun from sliding off your shoulder?
That's the whole point of the design. The BakTrak side uses a tacky rubber tread that grips your shoulder or jacket and holds the sling in place on climbs and long walks. Hunters who've used it consistently say the tacky backing stays put with very little slippage.
What is the Hex panel on the Allen Hex Sling used for?
The Hex panel is an accessory panel on the face of the sling that lets you attach small items like game calls. It keeps the gear you use most riding right on the sling instead of getting buried in a pack. It's a handy touch for hunters who like to keep calls within easy reach.
Will this sling fit my rifle and adjust for cold-weather layers?
It adjusts from 21 to 42 inches using a quick-adjust cam-lock buckle, so you can shorten it up in warm weather or let it out to clear a bulky coat. The 3-inch width also helps spread the load across your shoulder. It works with standard swivel studs and comes with swivels included.
How strong are the swivels on the BakTrak Hex Sling?
Allen tests the included swivels to hold up to 500 pounds, so the attachment points are built to handle the weight of your rifle or shotgun without being the weak link. Users regularly mention the swivels feel solid and don't work loose in the field.
