The Operator's Guide to the 2 Point Quick Adjust Sling 

Your skill in 2 point slings has increased! (12) Your skill in 2 point slings has increased! (13)

The sling-toss thing is great, but be aware of your charging handle if you are using an AK. The pain of a charging handle making love to your spine is like nothing else.

It took me forever to find a video discussing a sling with tension for accuracy. I run mine through my hand and it works. I'm far more stable and my arm doesn't get tired. Why is this no longer discussed? My whole RU-vid feed is nothing but gun channels.. I've never seen this and its extremely beneficial.

I've made this style sling nearly 15 years ago. You attach an ALICE pack tension strap to a standard G.I. M16/M4 sling. Still have it, still works great.

I love the fact that the backdrop looks like a greenscreen of the most stereotypical arizona landscape, but its somehow real.

I believe I have found a true, value added use for a three-point sling. Compelled by a range master to use one, I promptly accepted the offered three point sling and whipped said range master with it until we all agreed that a two point sling would be OK. Seriously, great video on use of 2 point quick adjust slings. Nice to see an accurate and clear review on the fundamentals of a subject we all tend to overthink.

Now this is what I backed you for. Great stuff.

20 Minute discussion and showcase of a certain type of rifle sling, this is exactly the content I'm looking for! Keep being awesome. When not wearing a ballistic west I also prefer a 2 point sling. Else a 1 pointer.

mud test the sling totally serious test to see if it is possible for the mechanism to jam if used dynamically as demonstrationed here

But do these slings take glock mags?

It is nice to see that they have made the Blue Force Gear Vickers 2-Point Padded Combat Sling much easier to adjust, and with no "tail".

Thanks guys, great tutorial. All of my experience has been with GI web slings - I picked up a Viking Tactical 2-point to participate in a 5k next weekend and I needed a crash course!

I never get tired of all the forward assist trolling.

I keep watching this video, and sharing it with others. I can't say enough about how great it is. Thank you Ian and Karl!

"Bangety Bangety Bangety" -Karl

And now for "Ian's Guide to the 2 Point Plain Jane Surplus Sling"

Watching Karl in this video reminded me to get some good knee and elbow pads. I e had knee surgery in the past and never thought that I would need them after getting into shooting. Thanks for the unspoken reminder.

Great video guys, best how-to I've ever seen for a 2-point. After years of trying everything under the sun I found the 2-point works best for me as well. I use the Magpul MS series as I like having the option for single-point but honestly rarely use it.

Instructions unclear. Got myself autoerotique asphyxiated.

Nice video. Perfect demonstration of how easy the quick adjust sling is to pick up and use efficiently. I have an old first gen. Viking tactical sling and I do like the design. It's easier and quicker to adjust than the sider style on the magpul slings. However the magpul slings have really nice high quality webbing material that I perfer over the thin nylon the first gen Viking sling had.

Can I just say that I really appreciate the material you guys both put out. I've had a Magpul MS4 for a full year now but never thought to employ it in any of the manners you guys demonstrated.

I truly appreciate that you do objective tests, warts and all, on camera for our education. After all... "The dumb person makes mistakes. The smart person learns from them."

I always chuckle when I see Ian standing to the right of a right handed person. My brother is left handed, and growing up, we always made sure he'd sit to the left at the dinner table, because when you have a lefty sitting to the right of a righty, the elbow wars begin, lol! With hand gestures while talking, I keep expecting these two to smack each other. I guess they're standing far enough apart. :)

"What are you going to do if it jams?" "It doesn't jam" Made me laugh.

Excellent! Thank you Karl. I learned a fair chunk of stuff, something I am happy to say often when I watch your videos!

This is why you are the best and became one of two channels I give to. You taught me I have been wearing my sling wrong my entire life.

i dont have any guns, but i tried this sling out in an airsoft game and its now my favorite sling, i reccomend it to everyone.

Thanks guys. That was the easiest to understand demo. video of sling use I've ever seen. I got a lot of practicing ahead of me.

As a lefty (by eye dominance/vision requirement) Im glad you show it from both hands. Very useful!

I lost it at the part when Karl made fun of forward assists :D. Great information guys, thank you.

Awesome content as always. The only sling training I've ever gotten was those silly marksmanship slings in j.R.O.T.C. air rifle team. Thank you guys, awesome as always on both channels.

honestly loved this video! youve really opened my eyes to 2 point slings. my biggest gripe with them was their lack of offhand shooting capability, but now that i know this technique ill be sure to pick one up! this is what i signed up to patreon for!

I have to say this was the best sling video I have seen. I'm going with an adjustable 2 point.

I just received the BlueForce 2 point adjustable sling that I ordered a week ago for my first rifle and this video popped up in my RU-vid feed. It's like Divine Intervention. Thank you so much for the video guys. It's 3am and you guys have me wearing a t-shirt, boxers and an AR15. Liked and subbed.

Excellent content. Has to be one of the best that I have seen on this topic. Thanks for sharing.

Wow I really learned something from this video. I had never heard of a sling as a stabilization aid.

Great video guys, well done! I learned a lot from this coming from surplus slings to a Vickers. Just used the muzzle down on a hike today in fact

The backpack carry is perfect for climbing up a tree stand. Thus even my bolt gun has an adjustable 2 point sling on it

Great video. I recently got a BFG Vickers sling and I love it. I'm getting an adjustable 2-point for each long-gun now. I'll probably get another Vickers for my other favorite rifle and cheaper Magpuls for my lower mileage rifles and shotguns.

Karl's workout regimen is definitely paying off.

I've been wanting a way to sling my rifle while stalk hunting, but be ready to fire, if need be. These methods are GREAT. Appreciate it, guys. I don't have a quick adjustable sling yet. Mine is adjustable, but kinda slow. Time to go shopping on Amazon. I also have mine fixed too close to my muzzle. It's time to change that!

This video is explained well, very helpful, and informative. Also, you guys work great together. Please keep the rifle tips comin'!! Thank you both! Subbed!!

*grabs sling and rifle to paint along with Bob Ross*

Great video. Love these detailed segments focused on practical skills and essential equipment. I send thee one million virtual doll hairs to support the project.

Best 2 point sling video on you tube. Keep up the good work

I've been watching all the sling vids, and this one excellent!

Excellent video!!! I have been hoping you two would revisit slings, fantastic stuff!!

I set mine up to where i can sinch the gun to my body. When I unlock the tensioner all the way it is perfect lenght to get more support with a tight triangle. Love this sling.

You're a good teacher. Nice explanations.

Great Tutorial. I will apply this to my training. Great Job👍

Luv the "Operator's Guide" videos!! More please :) Thanks guys!!

As someone who owns the VTACS sling and loves it, I'd highly recommend Gear Dynamics slings. Great, durable, low-profile slings that dont have the long hanging piece that the VTACS has. It comes in any colour or camo pattern you could want. I use it on my service rifle and it has never let me down

Watched and followed along at home. Very helpful.

I recently grabbed a T.A.B. GEAR 2-point with HK hooks on discount. NO idea how to use it over all the regular 2-point and 3-point tac slings I've used before. I was running a Mk12 with Ironman mentality (no sling), but this video made it worth attempting again. Actually very useful. Thanks, third page of search results!

I find that keeping my quick adjust 2 point all the way right for walking around and doing non gun work, (admin stuff). And strong side hasty sling. I run it as loose as it will go for situations requiring more dynamic movement, shoulder bump (Transfer stock from strong to weak keeping hands in place, "push forward, bump to the left") instead of the weaving and waving my arms through my sling to switch shoulders. I like 3 point. It makes a lot of sense for guys who spend all day geared up engaged in a wide variety of tasks. For me, a One Tigris quick adjust 2 point, has been working nicely.

Man, this is such a great video. Thank you for sharing - subscribed!

Excellent information. Thank you guys

Excellent video guyz!!! Keep up the good work!

Hey Karl, I noticed you were sporting a Bianchi um84 type holster...that's my favorite holster! I'm glad I'm not the only one haha

There is a lot of good information here. Thank you

Excellent! Can't wait to try these techniques!

Great content! As always. Thanks guys!

That last technique works particularly well with a PPS-43

Nice work! Thanks and be safe!

Awesome sling use tutorial! I'd love to see more content like this, particularly some stuff geared for those of us in the audience that aren't already experienced shooters. Maybe something on proper use of iron sights, or general marksmanship fundamentals?

You gave me the necessary info without bullshit. Thank you.

Definitely interested in seeing a forward assist vid! Lots of different opinions on whether or not they're even necessary.

Well now I’m convinced. Stuck with fixed two points for the longest time. Now i need an adjustable.

I would definitely practice these methods with an "empty" 30rd mag (ar15 platform) inserted into your rifle. I'd want to simulate with full dimensions of the rifle especially with the added length of a 30rd magazine. Great tutorial👌

Great. I learned new things today. Thanks!

Great content, I love it. I prefer the Vickers sling from Blue Force Gear, but the usage is essentially the same.

This video was cool and I learned a few things thank you inrange

Outstanding! Currently have a MagPul sling, so am going to try these manipulations with it first before considering the Vikings Tactical and others you mention Karl.

Excellent video.

I've been using the VTAC sling for the past 10 years on multiple deployments and it is my favorite. Easy to adjust whether you are using no kit, armor, other stuff you are wearing. You do have to replace them every year or two of daily use and adjustment because the nylon expands (?) as it wears and won't feed smoothly. I'll have to try the adjustment for prone and off hand though.

Great Content Sirs! Thanks so much!

Great video guys!

Nice demonstration!

I use a 7 point sling. It's next level brah

I love this video. I've learned alot. I'm going to save on my watch later for reference if I need it again thank you for sharing this with us. By the way I'm a new subscriber since today 12/16/18

great video guys, i will definatly be adding this to my training rutene

The Swedish Military has an interestingly simple system for their slings with their standard issue weapon (Ak 5C) where you can decide yourself if you want 1-point or 2-point style of sling and switch between them quick and easy. Usually from what I have seen is that soldiers on guard duty use a 1-point configuration where as soldiers in a, let's say, "combat" environment tend to use it in a 2-point configuration.

Nice! Old video but I had missed it somehow. Late father (expert pistol and rifle) taught me 3 position sling use with my .22 40 years ago. I still use those methods. This looks much more fast and handy. Will hit up the boys at Brownell's and get me a modern, fast 2 point. Strapped to my .22 rimfire AR! 🤣🤣🤣

Watching the sling vids back to back, it really seems like a two-point quick adjust sling gives you most of the benefits of a three-point sling with far less of a chance for something to get tangled.

Great video. I have one of these slings and they are handy.

Well that absolutely earned a sub.... Great video guys!

Great content guys.

Is that the same shooting mat that Ian bleed on?

Love Love Love this video.

Ferro concepts slingster is my favorite and I’ve had the Vickers, magpul ms3, Haley strategic sling, all adjustable but the slingster has the easiest slider.

best sling video out there

Another thing about the "muzzle down" sling position: You could have the length of the sling to where the stock hangs right below the armpit. When you need your rifle, all you need is to bring it up much like drawing a handgun.

good video , informative , thanks guys!

Great video. thank you.

Great video 👍 thanks

I had no idea, that explains a lot thank you

Fantastic, You shold be a personal trainer/instructer for security personal and everybody that need Weapons training. Great show/ karl

Guys, thank you so much. Very informative. I now can finally practice with my carbine and Viking Tactics sling. Probably the best video out there. great job.!!!!

Great topic & video. As a lefty, I've encountered problems with the sling swivel mounted directly forward of the ejection port (like it is on Ian's rifle in the video). When shooting in awkward positions or from the right side (weak side for a lefty), the sling can get close enough to the ejection port to cause a failure to eject. Rare, but enough to be aggravating and usually happened when I was in a position that made it especially difficult to clear the malfunction.. I ended up moving the swivel to the forward end of the handguard. YMMV

This is great information.
