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

Me too. Total pain.

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.

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.

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.

Never thought of that.
I could load up one magazine with subs and the other with supers. Problem with the 10/22 is though , it loads the next round after a shot fired. So it would be a bit fiddly unloading the round that has self loaded and racking the action again to load ..
Food for thought though.
thanks

Thats what I have been doing with my 22mag . one mag with subs and a second with high velocity . lupy scope with drop graduations and the second line below the cross hair (on that scope.. ) equates to zero at the range I generally use subs at , but it doesn't load the next round and have to re-cock after every sub shot .

there is a brand that does a backpack type sling available in nz as I looked at one for myself , can be used in several configurations but buggered if I can remember the brand name at mo....
If I think of it will post later ....

this is the one I was thinking of , maybe not quite what you are after but look like a good sling for holding rifle locked into place near middle of back and maybe room for second rifle on shoulder without the two knocking together ?
