Butler Creek has expanded its line of Featherlight slings, with a new single-point design. The sling includes the same, breathable, close-cell foam construction as the traditional model, as well as adjustable straps, a large thumb loop and two built-in cartridge holders. Like all Featherlight slings, the new single-point option is standard with cut out slots that help reduce trapped heat as well as provide a better grip on the user’s shoulder.

In addition, the Single-Point Sling includes a bungee strap for extra shock absorption and quick-release buckles, as well as an HK-style snap hook and push-button swivel connectors. The quick-release buckles make it easy for shooters to quickly detach their rifle from the sling. The 2-inch wide sling is also adjustable from 28-inches to over 33-inches long, so it will fit just about any shooter.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field.
