Butler Creek Comfort Stretch Shotgun Sling Black – No Swivels Needed

Description

Hauling a heavy goose or duck gun across a marsh gets old fast, and that's exactly where the Butler Creek Comfort Stretch Shotgun Sling earns its keep. It's built from soft, flexible closed-cell neoprene with a Comfort Stretch backing that soaks up the bounce you'd normally feel with a plain nylon strap. The result is a sling that can trim felt weight by as much as half, which means your shoulder and neck stay fresher when the walk to the blind turns into a hike.

Why the Comfort Stretch Sling Works Without Swivel Studs

Plenty of shotguns and muzzleloaders don't come drilled for swivels, and this sling was made with those guns in mind. Instead of hardware, it uses a simple loop system: one end slips over the barrel and the other cinches around the pistol grip area of the stock. The top loop has a piece of quality suede sewn in to protect the finish on blued or stainless barrels, so you're not scuffing up your gun while you carry it.

Grip and Stability on the Shoulder

Butler Creek's Non-Slip Grippers are the real standout here. They hold the sling in place whether you're wearing a slick synthetic parka or a cotton hunting coat, and they don't quit in wet or dry conditions. There's a nice bonus too: the neoprene forms a snug grip around your forearm when you shoulder the gun, which helps steady barrel weave and cut down on shake for offhand shots.

A Simple, Field-Proven Carry Option

This is a straightforward, no-frills carry solution for waterfowl and upland hunters who want comfort without a lot of fuss. It's adjustable to fit different builds and carry styles, and the black neoprene keeps things low-key in the field. For anyone running a pump or semi-auto without swivel studs, it's a dependable way to keep both hands free on the way to your spot.
