Optimal AR Sling Setup

I want to talk about the optimal sling set up for an A R. Now. Some people are gonna jump in right away and say, no, this is personal preference, Rob and I get it. Some of this is gonna be personal preference. You're gonna like what you like. But having seen thousands of students and I'm sure many, many hundreds, if not actually thousands of rifle classes, CQB classes, military classes, law enforcement, patrol, rifle, uh home defense just getting to learn the A R platform period. I mean, not just the A R but really any of this type of gun, semiautomatic gun that you're gonna have where you want to be able to move the gun into a shooting position and move with the gun. I, I'll tell you that, I think this is the optimal set up if you're gonna have a two point sling now, optimally in the real world, I wanna have a two point sling that's convertible to a single point because a single point gives me more maneuverability. I think most people who work with A RS will agree that that yes, the single point gives you the most versatility for transitioning for moving into unorthodox shooting positions, retention, shooting positions, all that kind of stuff. The next best thing you could do if you really want that two point to have more stability when you're moving around and not have the gun bouncing and twisting and spinning is to mount the sling close to the receiver. So we're gonna have a QD, in this case, QD attachment point right at the back of the receiver. And there's lots of different ways to do that and a QD attachment point right here in front of the receiver. And there's lots of different ways to do that. You can do that with uh a rail piece attachment that climbs on the rail. Um This particular upper from Nemo arms has a built in QD exactly where, where I want it. And of course, this would be the piece that I would bring up here if I had a convertible sling, lots of people want to stick with the two point. Cool. Here it is, this two point sling is gonna hold the gun in the right place when I'm moving around. You know, obviously I'm not doing back flips, I'm not doing cartwheels. But right now, if I reach for the gun, the toe of the stock is right where I want it to be to go to my ready position and then I can come up to my shooting position without having to change anything. That's what I want from the sling when it's hanging. Oh, once I have the gun in the ready position and of course, number one thing I want to be able to move into a shooting position, I want to be able to move into a shooting position. Even if I'm off angle in one way or another, I want to be able to transition and either a hasty transition or maybe I'm gonna do a full transition over to the weak side. And I still haven't had to adjust the sling. All of these things are gonna be much easier to do with the connection point, especially the forward connection point back towards the receiver and not way out here. Now, if you're looking to wrap the sling to gain stability, this isn't going to do that. But when we're talking about close quarters rifle use, moving with the gun and moving the gun into a shooting position around any intermediate barriers, around cover, around concealment, being able to go from the ready to the shooting position and even come back into a compressed shooting position for extreme closed quarters problems. This is gonna be best facilitated by having a connection point close to the back of the receiver and close to the front of receiver. And that's what I think is the optimal A sling set up.
