I know this has been posted before, but with season approaching I thought it was worth bringing up.
I have been on a search the last few years to find the perfect sling and I found it. The quake claw slimline is it.
It is light, comfortable, doesn't slip off the shoulder easily, and can easily be adjusted.
BUT for me the most important thing for a shotgun sling is to be able to easily tighten the sling so that there is no slack in it. The quake claw is designed at the perfect length for a shotgun so that you can do just that.
With one hand you can cinch it down tight, where it does not move or flop around. This also makes it great for duck hunting.
I have spent too much over the years on different slings and this is all I will buy from now on. I even picked a few up in case they change something with the design.

Good to know.
The sling is likely the ONLY thing I'd maybe change in my entire turkey hunting set-up.
The claw is a premier sling
Claw is my go to sling on all my guns. Comfortable and non slip
I sent part of a claw sling - To Glenda Green and I asked her to incorporate it into her Bottomland sling and it is the best / perfect sling... IMO
I only use the Butler Creek Featherlight sling now.
Claw makes a fine sling, they will not slip for sure. I did try pretty much all of them, but settled on Vero Vellini. My brother showed me this sling about 25 years ago. They were made in Italy. I've collected the various styles over the years. They come in slim, wide, and have camo versions. The 4th one from the left is the oldest, my first. It's over 25 years old, and I use it a lot. The wide ones are good for heavier guns, and my Crossbows. The 2 piece Vellini shown on the far right is a cross-over sling. Great invention, I climb with this sling and use it for long treks to a couple of my remote spots. It crosses over your shoulders with ease, just as easy to get Gun in ready position as regular one side slings. These slings do not slip, and the best attribute of these slings is they have rubber backing, and act like shock absorbers as you walk. Definitely relieves pressure on your shoulder when they "stretch", cushions you as you walk. The sling on the left is from Moonshine leather works. Another well made, great option. The "Perfect Sling" is what works for you and your hunting style. There are many great options out there for sure.

The Claw slimline is my favorite sling as well. I don't adjust mine often but the fact that it can be easily done if needed is a plus.
I have a regular Claw and the Slimline. I prefer the slimline but both are the best slings I've ever used.
The slim version of the claw is on my rifles...but my single shot turkey chaser has a Butler Creek neoprene which is about as comfy as a sling can get.
