another vote for the claw, I have them on all my rifles and shotguns.  It hangs on like a scared cat.

I have a couple of the claws but I prefer the butler creek comfort stretch, much more comfortable to carry.

Sorry guys, but in my opinion, the Butler Creek Slings are CRAP.  The Claw slings are decent, but do yourself a favor and look at the Slogan Outdoors slings.  Some of you may remember this goob from the Outdoor Channel commercials a few years ago.  The commercials were terrible, but the slings are the best on the market.  You can't make the sling fall off your shoulder, it's like the thing has teeth.  They also have a lifetime warranty.  They told me if anything ever happens to it, they'd send me a new one.  Even if my dog chews it up, free sling.  I know you can probably buy two claw's for one of these, but trust me, you won't regret it.  Do yourself a favor and get the longer one.  The backpack straps are a nice feature too.

I've tried several different slings over the years and I've come to like the neoprene slings by Avery.  They have a couple different models being the Power Hunter and The Finisher.  I myself prefer the Power Hunter model myself.  I have 2 or 3 of the black colored ones and a Nat Gear color Power Hunter also.  I like the quick disconnect swivels on these slings as I like to remove my slings when I get situated into a hunting position.  Before the Avery slings I use to use the Super Sling on all my guns and still will do so if not using the Avery Sling.  I have tried the Quake Claw as I read so much about how so many people like them but I found them to be hard on the shoulder and difficult to remove in a hurry as I did not like the swivel that they use on the Claw.  A good sling for some people not not suited to my taste.

Best I have ever seen is made by Vero Vellini. It has a grip on your shoulder and stays where you put it unlike any that I have used. I got mine at Bass Pro a few years ago.

I've got "the Claw" sling and really like it. It doesn't slip and it's wide enough to spread out the weight on your shoulder.  :icon_thumright:
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

i use some kind of stretchy sling from wally world for 10 bucks works great and never slips

  i have several but no matter which one is on the gun,,i always after setting up on a gobbler,take the front of the sling offthe gun altogether..just a breeze of wind blowing the sling arround will catch his weary eye and you will be busted ,or it gets hung up on a limb or something as i shift arround when the bird comes in from the unsuspected side..

Been using vero vellinis for over 10 years.  Light, comfortable, and do not slip  :icon_thumright:

I put a Butler Creek neoprene on every gun I have.  The stretch makes the gun seemingly weigh less on the shoulder.  And it sticks to my vest or clothing so it doesn't slip much at all.

I just got a claw last year that came with my muzzleloading shotgun.  I've only hunted one day with it, last fall, but I like it so far.

Claw on the old JC Higgins and soon to be on the Mossberg only this time I will use a different model as the Mossberg is set up for quick release slings. Does not slip and is comfortable.
