Competitor Plus sling - the pinnacle of craftsmanship and functionality. For those who appreciate the elegance of fine leather and the precision of expert craftsmanship, the Competitor Plus Sling is a revelation. This sling is not just an accessory - it's a meticulously crafted reproduction of the iconic 1907 Military Sling, revered by high-power service rifle shooters, discerning hunters and collectors of pre-WWII military firearms. Its legacy is unmatched, having accompanied countless firearms over innumerable miles. Uncompromising Quality and Craftsmanship- Premium materials - proudly made in the USA, the Competitor Plus Sling is crafted from the finest oak-tanned, top-grain U. S. Steer hide. This leather is a full heavy-weight, 9 oz -10 oz material, tanned to perfection for maximum flexibility, stability and toughness. Unlike other slings, it resists stretching and avoids the pitfalls of oily finishes. Robust Hardware - each sling is equipped with thick, forged, blued steel hooks, secured with three hand-hammered copper rivets. This ensures the hooks remain steadfast under extreme pressure, providing a reliable hold without the risk of accidental unhooking. Precision Keepers - the keepers are designed for a snug fit, skived at a taper, overlapped and then glued and stitched with 5-cord waxed linen thread. This meticulous construction ensures your adjustments remain secure, allowing you to focus on your shot. Superior Performance and Authenticity The Competitor Plus Sling is more than just a tool - it's a testament to superior design and functionality. Its oak tannage process avoids the use of chromic salts, preventing tarnish and corrosion on metal components. The smooth, burnished finish highlights the natural grain of the leather, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical durability. Enhanced Shooting Experience This sling is engineered to enhance your shooting experience by eliminating distractions. Its design allows for a tight grip without splitting or cracking, even across the holes. The Competitor Plus Sling supports your shooting position with unwavering stability, allowing you to concentrate on your target, wind conditions and trigger control. A Worthwhile Investment While the Competitor Plus Sling may come at a premium, its exceptional quality and performance make it a worthwhile investment. It offers unparalleled service as a traditional field sling, authenticity for restorations and the potential for higher match scores by removing a common source of distraction. Spend your time focusing on the hunt or the match, not on adjusting your sling. In summary, the Competitor Plus Sling is a masterpiece of design and functionality, offering a blend of tradition and innovation that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning shooter. Experience the difference of a sling that truly delivers on its promise of quality and performance.
