"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Which sling?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a sling for a hunting rifle?

Re: Which sling?
One doesn't realise how important a question that is, until one drops it on its scope!
I've got several slings...all with good fittings.

Re: Which sling?
Ouch!
Actually I still have to smile thinking of my husband who came limping over to me with a painful grimace on his face, he had just dropped his AI with the barrel end first down onto his little toe. Pretty kewl I thought, nothing happened to the barrel, feck it he thought, broken toe.
It wasn't broken...but you know men, they always have to dramatise.
Waaha ha ha
:lol: :lol: :P

Can't beat baler twine! Use two bits if its a heavy rifle.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Here we go FB style.
Other good use for baler twine...Tie some 'round your waste over a coat...keeps you warm.
Polchraine...no jokes about pretty sheeps...

Re: Which sling?
I understand now why you commented on the hole at the end of the AIM bags,
A barrel could easily slip through there to attack your toes!

I was using my trusty old L96A1 bag that came off eBlag for under a tenner, it came without straps so I added some ALICE straps and there lies the problem, they are of a synthetic material that is quite slippery so as I rolled it off my right shoulder it just got away from me, luckily I was wearing boots, having broken two toes in that foot already I really did not want to make it a hat trick!
On the subject of bailing twine I remember seeing a picture of an Indian Army sniper climbing scaffolding during the Mumbai massacre. He had a Dragunov SVD over his shoulder and was using some blue polypropylene rope as a sling.

Re: Which sling?
My advice would be is to makesure that you attach both ends of the sling to both ends of the rifle...
