Abstract
A firearm sling apparatus has a firearm connection section for attachment to a forward portion of a firearm and having a body connection section for attachment to the body of a firearm user. A releasable latching connector establishes releasable connection of the firearm connection section and the body connection section and provides for selective adjustment of strap members of the sling, permitting a user to adjust the body connection of the sling to fit the user's body anatomy and to accommodate the aiming and shooting position of the firearm. Adjustment of the sling apparatus is preferably accomplished with the user in a bipod stabilized position.
Claims18
A firearm sling enhanced method for aiming and shooting a firearm, comprising:
- securing a first section of a firearm sling to a firearm;
- securing a second section of said firearm sling to the body of a user;
- and
- adjusting said firearm sling to achieve desired relative positioning of said first and sections of said firearm sling and to achieve sufficient tension to urge a buttstock portion of the firearm against a shoulder of a user with sufficient force to cause the tension force of said firearm sling and the body anatomy of the user to return the firearm substantially to the aiming position following dissipation of the recoil energy resulting from discharge of the firearm.
A firearm sling apparatus, comprising:
- a firearm connection section of said firearm sling for selective attachment to a forward portion of a firearm and having a firearm connection strap;
- a body connection section of said firearm sling for selective attachment to the body of a firearm user and having a body connection strap;
- and
- a strap length adjustment mechanism being mounted to said firearm connection strap and being manually operable for adjusting the effective length of said firearm connection strap and controlling the tension force being applied by said firearm sling apparatus to the firearm and the firearm user.
A firearm sling apparatus for firearms having a bipod mounted thereto, comprising:
- a firearm connection section having bipod leg connecting members and having a firearm connection strap;
- a body connection section for attachment to the body of a firearm user and having a body connection strap;
- a releasable latching connector having separable first and second latching members each defining a strap receiving receptacle;
- said firearm connection strap being received by said strap receiving receptacle of said first latching member and said body connection strap being received by said strap receiving receptacle of said second latching member, said first and second latching members being engaged and latched to establish connection of said firearm connection section and said body connection section;
- said firearm connection strap defining an adjustment section extending from said strap receiving receptacle of said first latching member and being oriented for application of a user applied pulling force to shorten the length of said firearm connection strap;
- and
- a tension point connection member being mounted to said firearm connection strap and having a single firearm connector disposed for establishing traction point connection with a forward portion of a firearm.
