Description
The Allen BakTrak Terrain Sling is built around one simple idea: a rifle sling should stay put when you're on the move. The backside carries a rubberized traction pad with a wide silicone gripping tread, and that tread does the heavy lifting when you're crossing uneven ground or scrambling up a hillside. Instead of fighting a strap that keeps sliding off your shoulder, you get a sling that grips and holds so your focus stays on the hunt or the target.
What Makes the BakTrak Terrain Grip So Well
That silicone tread pattern is the whole story here. It grabs onto your jacket or bare shoulder and cuts down on the shifting and slipping you get with plain webbing slings. Reviewers of Allen's BakTrak line consistently point out that the sticky rubber backing is the standout feature, keeping the rifle steady while climbing and quieting down the sling noise that spooks game. It works over a light shirt or a heavy hunting coat without much fuss.
Built Tough and Kept Light
Allen went with a tough polymer construction and durable 1.25-inch webbing, so the sling shrugs off hard use without adding bulk. It's a lower-profile setup than a lot of the older rubber slings out there, which means you keep a full range of motion in the field. The swivels are rated for over 500 pounds, giving you a solid, no-worry connection between the sling and your rifle studs.
Dialing In the Fit
The Terrain is fully adjustable and stretches from 22 inches out to 37 inches, so you can run it snug for a quick carry or let it out to sling across your body and free up both hands. The integrated swivels make attaching and pulling the sling off a fast job. In black, it pairs cleanly with just about any rifle or shotgun, whether you're headed into the timber or setting up at the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BakTrak Terrain Sling actually keep the rifle from sliding off your shoulder?
Yes, that's the main job of the silicone gripping tread on the back of the sling. It grabs onto your clothing or shoulder and holds the rifle steady, even when you're climbing or moving through rough terrain. It also helps quiet the sling down so you're not making noise on a stalk.
What size swivels does the Terrain Sling use and are they included?
The sling comes with integrated swivels sized for standard 1.25-inch webbing, and they're rated to hold over 500 pounds. They attach right to your rifle's sling studs, so you don't need to buy anything extra to get it mounted.
How long can I adjust the BakTrak Terrain Sling?
It adjusts from 22 inches out to 37 inches, which covers everything from a snug shoulder carry to a longer setup you can throw across your body. That wider range comes in handy when you want both hands free for glassing or climbing.
Will this sling work on a shotgun as well as a rifle?
It will, as long as your shotgun has standard sling studs to accept the swivels. The 1.25-inch webbing and 500-pound rated swivels handle the weight of most rifles and shotguns without any trouble.
