Description
Anyone who has hauled a rifle up a steep slope or over slick rocks knows the fight of keeping one hand on the gun the whole way. The GrovTec GTSL59 BalancePoint solves that by riding on your back like a pack, with straps over both shoulders instead of one. That setup frees up both hands for grabbing branches, steadying yourself, or working around camp, and it keeps your firearm from sliding off your shoulder every few steps.
What Sets the BalancePoint Apart in the Field
This is an American-made sling built from tough nylon that holds up to hard use and rough weather. The padding is generous and spreads the load evenly, so a long carry does not leave your shoulders barking by the end of the day. The Realtree Xtra Green camo blends into greener terrain nicely, making it a natural fit for early season hunts and timber country.
Getting the Rifle Up and Ready
The GTSL59 comes with push button swivels sewn right in, so it mounts to any long gun with standard swivel studs. Folks who run it tend to point out how quick it is to drop a shoulder and bring the gun into shooting position when game shows up. The built-in thumb loops are a nice touch too, giving you a comfortable, controlled hold when you are glassing or scouting.
A Sling for the Long Haul
Whether you are packing into the backcountry, riding an ATV out to your spot, or just covering a lot of ground on foot, the BalancePoint is made for distance. GrovTec built this thing from the perspective of people who have carried firearms over serious miles, and it shows in how the weight sits and stays put. It works equally well with rifles and shotguns, so it earns its keep across more than one season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the BalancePoint sling carry differently from a regular sling?
Instead of hanging off one shoulder, the BalancePoint wears across your back like a backpack with straps over both shoulders. That balances the weight of the gun and keeps it from sliding around, which frees up both hands for climbing or working. It makes a real difference on long carries and rough terrain.
Does the GTSL59 come with swivels?
Yes, this version ships with push button swivels already included and sewn in. That means it mounts up to any rifle or shotgun with standard swivel studs right out of the package. You will not need to buy swivels separately for this model.
Can I still get the rifle into shooting position quickly with a backpack sling?
You can. Users note that dropping the appropriate shoulder brings the gun down and into a firing position without much fuss. The thumb loops also help you keep a secure, comfortable hold while glassing or scouting between moves.
Will the Realtree Xtra Green sling work for both rifles and shotguns?
It works for both. The BalancePoint is designed to carry rifles and shotguns alike as long as they accept standard swivel studs. The Realtree Xtra Green pattern is a good match for greener, timbered country and early season hunts.
