Description
The Outdoor Connection Raptor Sling earns its spot on your favorite hunting rig by doing the simple things right. The heart of it is a wide neoprene shoulder pad, roughly 2 inches across and about 8mm thick, with a non-slip backing that keeps your gun from sliding around when you're picking through timber or heading up a ridge. It soaks up the weight of the firearm and stays put, which is exactly what you want when you've got a long day ahead and a rifle or shotgun riding on one shoulder.
What Makes the Raptor Sling Carry So Well
Comfort is only half the story. The sewn, finished edge and 3-ply laminated construction give the strap real strength and help cut down on bounce while you move. The webbing is select mil-spec type material with cape buffalo grain leather end tabs, so it feels substantial in hand and holds up to weather without complaint. Rain, snow, humidity, none of it fazes this thing. That combination of a supportive pad and tough guts is why the Raptor gets a lot of use from deer hunters and upland folks alike.
Swivels and Fit on the Raptor Camo Sling
The sling ships with Brute E-Z detachable 1-inch swivels already assembled, so mounting it to your existing swivel bases is quick and painless. It adapts to either a rifle or shotgun, and the tri-glide adjustment lets you dial in the length from a snug carry to a looser hang. The nylon web straps adjust across a wide range, so whether you're layered up in cold weather or running light, you can find your fit.
The patented integral thumb-loop is the detail that sets this sling apart from a plain strap. Hook your thumb through it and you get a noticeably steadier hold for offhand shots, plus easy control when you're slinging up or shouldering the gun. Finished in Realtree APG camo, it blends into a wide range of terrain and pairs naturally with most hunting setups. Outdoor Connection backs the Raptor with a lifetime guarantee, which tells you plenty about how it's built.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Raptor Sling work on both my rifle and my shotgun?
Yes. The Raptor is designed to adapt to either a rifle or a shotgun as long as your gun has standard 1-inch swivel bases. The included Brute E-Z detachable swivels snap right on, so you can move the sling between guns without much fuss.
How does the thumb-loop on this sling actually help?
The patented integral thumb-loop gives you a stable point to hook your thumb through, which steadies the firearm for offhand shots and helps you manage the gun when slinging up or shouldering it. It's a small feature that makes a real difference in control and comfort during a long carry.
Is the neoprene pad comfortable enough for all-day carry?
The shoulder pad is roughly 2 inches wide and about 8mm of non-slip neoprene, so it spreads the weight of the firearm across more of your shoulder and keeps the sling from sliding around. Hunters who log long miles tend to appreciate how well it soaks up the load. The 3-ply laminated build also cuts down on bounce while you're on the move.
Can I adjust the length of the Raptor Sling?
Yes. It uses a tri-glide adjustment on the nylon webbing, so you can shorten it up for a snug carry or let it out for a looser hang. That range makes it easy to fit whether you're bulked up in cold-weather layers or running light.
