Description
The Allen Glen Eagle BakTrak Sling was built around one simple idea: your rifle should stay put on your shoulder without you having to think about it. The star of the show is the BakTrak rubber tread grip back, a textured rubberized surface that bites into your jacket or pack strap so the gun doesn't slide off when you're picking your way through timber or up a ridge. That same grippy back also kills the noise you get when a slick sling rubs against clothing, which matters a lot when you're trying to close the distance on game.
Up top you get a soft molded neoprene shoulder pad that spreads the weight of your rifle and takes the bite out of a long day in the field. The strap itself runs on 1.25-inch heavy-duty nylon webbing, and it adjusts from roughly 29 to 37 inches so you can dial in the length whether you're carrying tight to the body or slung looser over cold-weather layers.
Field Handling With the Glen Eagle BakTrak
A built-in thumb loop gives you a consistent spot to grab and helps with a steady hold when you bring the rifle up. The one-hand quick-adjust hardware lets you lengthen or shorten the sling on the move without setting the gun down or fumbling with both hands, which is exactly what you want when the terrain or the situation changes fast.
Mounting the BakTrak Glen Eagle Sling
The sling ships with swivels included, so it attaches straight to standard rifle or shotgun studs right out of the package. Reviewers who've spent time with the BakTrak line describe it as lower-profile and lighter than a lot of comparable rubberized slings, and note that the grip really does keep the gun where you set it. Finished in a clean black that blends with just about any gear, the Glen Eagle is a straightforward, dependable pick for hunters and range days alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the BakTrak back on the Glen Eagle sling different from a regular sling?
The BakTrak back is a molded rubber tread surface that grips your clothing or pack strap so the rifle doesn't slide off your shoulder. That same texture cuts down on the noise a slick sling makes when it rubs against fabric. It's the main reason hunters reach for this sling over a plain webbing strap.
Does the Glen Eagle BakTrak sling come with swivels?
Yes, it ships with sling swivels included, so you can mount it to standard rifle or shotgun studs right out of the package. The swivels are tested to hold 300 pounds. You won't need to buy separate hardware to get it on your gun.
How long is the Glen Eagle BakTrak and can I adjust it easily?
The sling adjusts from about 29 to 37 inches, giving you plenty of range to fit it tight to your body or looser over heavy layers. The one-hand quick-adjust hardware and thumb loop let you change the length on the move without setting the rifle down. It's a quick, no-fuss setup in the field.
Will the Glen Eagle BakTrak sling fit my rifle or shotgun?
It works with any firearm that has standard sling studs, which covers most bolt-action rifles, shotguns, and similar long guns. The included swivels attach directly to those studs. If your gun uses a different mounting system, you'd want to check that it accepts standard swivels first.
