If so, please share your thoughts on if it was worth it and where you sourced the materials.
I'm helping setup about 6 rifles for to introduce shooters to precision rifle shooting [not the PRS series] and I'm trying to keep the costs down. Personally, I really like the Pinnacle sling from TAB but the cost with cobra buckle gets up there. Thanks |

Very, very few people use slings in PRS matches and if they do it’s to carry the rifle from stage to stage and not while shooting. It’s more of a hinderance than help to have a sling on your rifle.

Alright, assume we aren't talking competitions where you are running from one station to the next. Use would be for carry in and out of longer hike locations, stability for tripod use, and unsupported positions

Get a TIS sling for $50-65 and it will do what you need and no building. https://tacticalintervention.com/ |

Where in NC are you? I could let you take a look at a TIS if close enough.

That's over my budget but I thought I'd share it in there in case someone else is curious. https://www.shortactionprecision.com/collections/slings-and-gear |

Talked with my friend that makes slings, and other gear. It was a full time job for awhile. He had not priced how much it would cost to make his slings today. He was buying in bulk for parts, and always looking for a deal.
Do you have the sewing machine that will handle your fabric? If not, I say buy it made already. Have you priced the individual parts (webbing, attachment points, buckles, etc)? How does that compare to cost of buying outright? The pride from making your own stuff may outweigh all of that. |
