Holy shit. Watching you spin that rifle around and stow it behind you was like watching some old kung fu movie 🤣I had to replay that portion a few times to figure out what the hell happened.
I’ve mostly ran my sling from the butt stock and the very front of the hand guard but watching you implement your method was very informative and I will try it out for sure. Thank you Mr. Owens.
I think implicit in his sling position, you have to look at the ease in which he was able to make all of those transitions. That's gun handling of many many years. So if you want to gunhandle like that, make sure you are doing your dry fire with your gear set up like that. Don't just change your sling, think 'Cool. GTG.' And put it back in the safe. Nah... dryfire that thing every night. River rocks are smooth because they have running water on them 24/7.
And that was a learning experience. I’m an ancient and back when dinosaurs ruled the earth I never ran with the sling over my body. I could toss it over my shoulder to get it out of the way but that was usually because the day’s trials and tribulations were over. This was the 70’s. There’s so much cooler stuff out there now. I love listening to Kevin’s stories and I’m especially fond of the one he tells about training the locals on the finer points of the AK. He didn’t have them safing the weapon all the time because it’s so cumbersome. I had the same approach and I’ve taken a metric duck ton of abuse over that. Thank you sir, for a little positive reaffirmation 👍👍
1:09…BAM! The amount of reps you’ve done shows in that moment. Our duty guns have Blue Force slings, they work. My personal AR about to changed up and tested. Thanks for the knowledge transfer Kevin.
Over the years I’ve tried quite a few different ways but this is natural way for me and what I train for especially because I’m a stock in the armpit to mag change to help me control the rifle the best. I absolutely agree through if it doesn’t work trying something till you know it’s the way for you! Appreciate the quick video 💪🏻
I run mine the same but I like the 2 to 1 point style for a CQB gun. If I'm running a scoped carbine or a more SPR style rifle, I run a 2 point with the connections on the buttstock and the far end of the rail.
That brake looks like it would be very concussive. Is there a suppressor that goes on it or something? I'm guessing that gun has 0 recoil whatsoever with that sucker on there.
Yeppers, precisely how and why I run most of my sling in just such a manner. Now, when folks go out of their way to tell me how thick in the head l am for doing so, l can point them to this video, not just point out that so many weapons have mounting points for doing so...
I don’t run em like this but I’m not this dude and he is not me. Can’t fault the man for liking his gear a specific way and muh dude gave lots of solid reasons why he runs it that way. No argument here.
i'm a low speed squirrel hunter with a bb gun. No use for this info but I can listen to Kevin talk about anything.
That was the coolest pivot to the back with a a rifle I’ve ever seen. On-On
Kevin that was the most professional sling manipulation I've ever seen, thank you for two minutes of sling work I've been like for.
Thank you Sir

I've spent way too much time over-analyzing sling setups...thanks for sharing Kevin!
The best carbine sling video I've seen... and in less than 2:30... epic. Thanks, brotha
Thank you
That “flip” was Jedi.
Thanks Kevin! Honestly, just seeing you throw the rifle around like a Ninja was amazing! Some manipulation to aspire to! Cheers!!
So that was like watching a ninja master. I’m gonna need to watch that about a dozen times on slow speed. Thanks, Kevan.
Clickbait, i tuned in for the pup 🐶 😍
More stuff like this man. You’re such a wealth of knowledge
Masterclass in under 3min! 👍
I guess you're supposed to drag the video out for monetization, i can't, i suck at youtube😂
Great information Kevin! You always give us the best advice.
Thank you! Tell Vinnie one of your followers said hi.
Thank you. Will do!
Awesome! Thanks again Kevin! ❤

I already know I’m not as skilled as Kevin but dammm I didn’t realize a sling video would highlight this.
Class , love it.
Good advice appreciate the video
Dude that was smooth, like you have done it thousands if times. I use my rifle when I task my dog out. Doesn’t look nearly as smooth lol
Been watching you for a while now but just found this channel! Glad to see you're still putting out good info Kevin! Keep it coming!
Thank you for watching. I appreciate that!
This really is my favourite sling. Great video. Cheers!

Kevin is right as always.This is the way we were taught to run our weapons at 5th Grp.
And that was a learning experience.

Great information. Going to try it out tomorrow! Being able to manipulate the rifle will take some time. Appreciate it.
Always appreciate your input! Miss you man!

Nice work, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Much appreciated! Keep up the great work and content!
Very good video actually think its the best about slings
Thank you!
Helpful info, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent advice! Legendary operator,
Thank you
Would love to see how you use the sling to tight up prone positions
That brake looks like it would be very concussive. Is there a suppressor that goes on it or something? I'm guessing that gun has 0 recoil whatsoever with that sucker on there.
Did you ever have to retain the sling to the gun? Or are you just always wearing the sling If it's on the rifle? Just curious. Awesome video!
Always wearing it
Kev, were you a fan of having a lanyard on your duty pistol for say, being on a ladder and clearing a rooftop ?
Absolutely not
Zhee has the same advice. Seems very sound.
We’re on the same page, I’m no ninja, but I run mine the same.
You can tell he’s eliminated a lot of targets in his day
