Thread: A dumb question, how to sling carry two guns at once?

I just couldn't find answer anywhere include YouTube.

When back we were able to do 3 gun shooting, i.m not talking about pistol, Can you carry an rifle and shotgun at same time? Both have two point sling. Is any way they can both functional without strangle each other? Any answer with carry instruction be really appreciated, thanks

Weren't allowed slings at all in the comps I did

Thanks I mean if you were hunting , can you carry two guns together? Seem they tangle up on each other

Have tried carrying 2 rifles around on the farm. Slung 1 over my shoulder and carried the other. 223 and 22. Pita really
Wouldn't do it again

Don't know what you're trying to do, but a safari sling could be part of the solution.

One gun in the front and one at the back

Both slung over neck/shoulder

If using a shorter range rifle it’s normally slung on my front when crossing rivers/climbing etc and especially when it’s raining to keep it (slightly) drier

Or carry one on each shoulder with slings crossed over your neck. Carry with muzzles forward and down steadied by each hand on barrel just up a little from muzzle. Allows you to carry pack on back too. Not possible to achieve a snap shot though.( rifles are inverted so underneath of rifle is facing up and forward and butts behind at about level of lower shoulder blade.

I have carried my 10/22 and my 22 mag around the farm.

I had one over my shoulder and the other between my shoulder blades.

I could not use the one between my shoulder blades but I swapped over when I wanted to go to the supressed 10/22 with subs when I got closer to the built up area of the farm.
You would need to have a sling that would go over your head and let your gun sit between your shoulder blades.. If you get what I mean.

Good question, I have done it wrong in the past. Carry one up and one down and one needs to be in a gun bag to stop them clanging together, put your knife belt round your guts and at least one of the rifles

Have you tried 22 mag subs? Just interested.

Nah I havent , Dont see the point of having a mag and using subs in it.
I have my 10/22 which I run subs and I use the mag for longer shots and down the back of the farm. Its got a DPT supressor on it but its still quite loud.

Carry a pack with a scabbard? Or stick it down between your back and the pack (don't do this with a chainsaw that's just been running, the muffler melts holes in your pack or burns your neck)

You could carry one rifle and use subs and supers. Bit of thinking about point of aim required, but I'm sure it could worked out. Whatever works for you though.

Best way would be a biathlon sling for one on the back and a 2 point sling for one across chest.

You could just have an ordinary sling across the back but I think biathlon would be more secure and interfere less.
2 point sling across the chest is a great way of carrying a fire arm for hunting and pretty much any other use, so long at the sling points are on the slide of the rifle (atleast for the butt end).

What @Beetroot said.

I have used a Browning All Season Web Sling with some success. It can be used as a conventional 2 point sling or biathlon style, like a backpack with the rifle vertical between your shoulders. Second rifle then over the shoulder, carry muzzle up or muzzle down.

Backpack style carry is more comfortable with pushbutton QD swivels on the side of the stock and definitely more practical when you're not also carrying a backpack.
