Rifle Sling hook for shoulder straps

[Blind Squirrel]

So my rifle sling constantly wants to slide off my shoulder when I’m hiking around while wearing my pack. I researched a little and could not find something exactly like I wanted, so I drew one on paper, my 11yo son made a 3D model of it and then 3D printed it. Came out exactly like I hoped. Secures the sling well but still allows me to quickly get it off my shoulder. I’ll field test it chasing bears in Montana next week.

Nice work.

I use something similar. The "Sling Hook" by Talarik. One of those small things that makes a huge impact on your comfort.

It only weighs 10g.

I hadn’t seen that one. Hope this works well, can’t see why it won’t. It’s really strong

Do you care to share the file? I’m pretty sure I can talk my son into printing one for me.

Sure. I don’t know how to do that, but my son probably does

I feel your pain.
Just copy and paste the file to a Dm to me. Or on this thread.

I’d love a copy of that file too. This is the most genius idea I’ve seen in a while. If you could get those into sporting goods stores for a 10-15 bucks every pack out there would have one on it.

I’ll figure it out tonight. He told me it’s a very small file. I was thinking it was a large file and wouldn’t be able to email.

I use shoe goo, a few dabs in the right places. I have to readd a time or too a season, but the stuff works for me.

Any chance you could post the file on here or send it me a copy? Evena picture would do to get the idea made. Much appreciated and if your kid wants to make a few bucks then sell the prints on etsy, there’s lots of printed gizmos there.

I got a plan off of thingverse.com and 3D printed this one. Works like a charm.

The slinghook is such a useful thing. I can not beleive how much better hiking with my rifle became when I started using one. Especially in thick bush or steep stuff. You just don't have to worry about your gun hitting the dirt so hiking becomes safer and more enjoyable. I made one 3D printed in Nylon so its really strong and has a nice finish. Love when something so simple has such a big impact.

There's another one called Frankenstud Sling keeper. Same concept but probably a little bit bigger.

Am I missing something? Is there a photo of yours?
