@@southernviking3113 sometimes it’s not about looking good. Sometimes it’s all about using what you have to not look bad. I’m bald as a cue ball. If I don’t have a beard, I look like Dr Evil. I’d rather have a funky grey and dark brown beard.
I purchased this sling. Once I got it setup similar to the video I like it even more. I had contemplated swapping it for another sling. However after setting it up properly it’s fantastic and comfortable. I have the padded version. I like the metal adjust mechanism.
Well done. You show in detail how to properly attach the sling to the rifle and explain the reasons for such an attachment. You also demonstrate the different carry positions for that sling and why and you demonstrate and explain the quick adjustments and reasons for those adjustments. This is a great "step by step" video. Thanks guys! :)
Thank you Mr. Lamb for this vid. Now i´m using the VTAC 2 Point Padded Sling for my HAENEL CR223 (it´s a German AR-15 clone with short-piston system) too...
Never thought of wrapping the rear of the buttstock. However it’s a great idea especially for stocks that have the attachment point at the bottom and not a left or right side attachment. One tip I use to always tell first time sling users so they remember how to mount it is (this is for right handed. Do the opposite if you’re a lefty). Always attach it to the buttstock on the same side of the ejection port and then opposite side up front. This is so when putting it to your shoulder it doesn’t get in the way. Remember stuff ejects from your butt.
Right, but if you're about to be whacked upside the head with a skateboard or jumpstomped or shot at by a commie with a Glock while you're flat on your ass, accept no substitutes.
lots of BS commentary, I'm sorry to see that. I liked this video for a number of reasons. The most important reason is that I am learning slings, not giving a damn about brand recognition. this video provided a great explanation to the systems and was very helpful. This info could not only save me from looking like a dumb ass on the range, but ultimately save my life and someone else even. Good video.
Really great sling, however with all “accessories needed” in my opinion should some with the sling, all out the door is about $125, we are talking single with metal buckle, quick detach swivel, and the low profile sling mount.
I notice that some people mount the front portion of their sling near the muzzle end of the handguard(this is what I do), but others will mount it back much further, almost under the muzzle end of the optic. What are the advantages of either method? I can't seem to find anyone explaining that.
Mounting front attachment near muzzle provides more stability, both for carrying and for aiming, but decreased mobility for close quarters combat. Mounting front attachment near the magwell flips that, increasing mobility but decreasing stability. It is not a huge difference and mostly comes down to personal preference. Try both and see what you like, or have two front QD attachment points so that you can swap as desired between them depending on what you are doing.
Ive had many slings and most of them end up in the pile under my work bench, the VTac sling is on my primary and love it so much I had to get more than one.
Kyle never goes to a knee, laying prone or uses the sling to steady the rifle in this video. How exactly is shooting only while standing, 'using' the sling?
Wtf are you talking about. Is a sling for God sake. Want some engineered drawings to go along with that? Oh let me guess you want to see if you can make these and sell them yourself. Sorry but 5.11 already makes them in china.
Dylan exactly i got an sti sling for 19.99 from amazon works just as good as this overpriced bull crap. so many companies way overcharge. 20 dollers in my opinion is the sweet spot i refuse to pay any more for a nylon strap.
You could do that to get you by to train with and such but when it comes available I would trust in the words of people who recommend in investing in a reliable quality sling and that its just as important as your holster. We could be on the same lines one day and I'd would be wanting to trust in my gear 100%
Thank you 5.11, I am big into the Semi-MilSim Airsoft competitions and I picked up one of these a while back for my G&G Top-Tech SR-25. It'll work nicely with the barrel extension on the SR-25 considering that it's too long for a single-point sling. I am going to try to threat this through my plate carrier, similarly to how they thread the single-point slings.
@@chipsterb4946 === I'm so old in grammar school I always carried a pocket knife. And nobody cared. When I was about ten or eleven y/o I wanted a BB gun. Begged my dad for months. He wouldn't have any of it. His experience in Korea turned him off on the idea. Even though it was just a BB gun. To my surprise out of the blue he told me to get in the car. We ended up at K-mart and to my surprise we ended up at the sporting goods section and he purchased a Crosman pump BB gun. We came home and I was the happiest kid in town. He then said, ''I'm only going to tell you this one time''. He then sternly instructed me on the safety aspects and fundamentals of shooting. He then more forcefully told me if he ever saw me use the BB gun in an unsafe manner he would break it in two. He meant it. I'd take that BB gun behind our house which was a popular lake/recreation park. At a good distance I'd shoot against the bank where Ice plant grew and pick off flowers. The point to this. I was a little kid with a BB gun and no one ever bothered me. People would walk by and think it's a kid having fun with a BB gun. Nowadays. If a kid was shooting his BB gun PD would be called out, S.W.A.T. would be deployed and a chopper would be flying overhead. The kid would have manacles slapped on his wrist and he'd be arrested and his parents arrested for child endangerment and neglect. Times have changed. That's why us older guys reminisce and say, ''The good ole days'' when things were normal and freedom was not lost. .
What the **** VTac!! I bought your upgraded hybrid sling for $60 and you mean to tell me a quick connect swivel and mount are $100?!??!?? How the hell is the mount $45 and the swivel another $45. That’s outrageous…I’ll just buy a magpul mount and swivel. Great sling, but those mount and swivel prices are not realistic.
The only logical way I can explain the beard is that he woke up and realized he's going to meet Kyle Lamb in half an hour and he just shaved somewhat and gave up half way finished.
What's up at 2:15, 3:40 and 5:19.......with the barrel? See the wobble in it? Surely that's not normal barrel movement? Almost looks like something is loose.
You guys need to really take the time and explain how to actually put it on. When it came to putting it on he just put it on without guidance. like if you arm should be under over etc....
So you want a company selling knockoffs made in China to tell you how to properly handle your rifle? Sounds like you have bigger issues to address besides mounting a sling.
So in all reality before I dis on this video, I do enjoy VTAC, they have some great gear and attachments. However if we can all steer away and focus on his selling point for the sling. I see nothing special. Many two point slings I have used come with these exact specs. What is the real difference here that a cheaper model. Again still a great brand but I am just not sold on the sling.
The guy is trying to sell his sling. If he can't be bothered to put up a usable "how to set up" video I have to wonder about how much he cares about customer service and quality control. The posturing and playing urban tactical dude is fluff. Most of us just want a good usable sling, not a fantasy.
So uber ginger beard is running a holstered mag-less pistol? I actually thought this was a comic video mocking all the ultra operator equipment being hawked on RUclips channels. My bad, this is actually an official Vikings tactical infomercial. ooooooops
PartTimeJedi Typically pistols go in holsters, and unless he intends to shoot in the near future then it makes sense that there is no mag in it... But yeah. Keep hating on things if it makes you feel superior.
Horrible presentation, visual parts when releasing and attaching sling to the attachment points was barely visible! Great intent guys but slow it down for the slow kids in the class and even the novice!
Call me a keyboard warrior, but it looks like I could run to my local surplus shop that sells nylon webbing by the foot and an array of buckles and clips, then just make this sling or something similar for about $15.
nice to notice that the putz asking the questions had no magazine in the pistol that was strapped to his side. whats the point of having it? gimmie a break! hollywood hero i guess.
thats bullshit and you know it.. hope you know how all kinds of special units use to engage their targets right.. with pure aggression what means they all get out from their cover or w/e where everyone just fires like crazy then lets say your main weapon fails at 5th round.. you just have to pull out your hand gun or something else at least semi automatic to continue rainin those bullets down range what keeps the enemies suppressed and basically out of control.. i guess that guy is just old stubborn and slow imo xD
NotEvenDeathCanSaveYouFromMe You can't grasp simple principle behind this kind of training, can't you? If you want watch trickshooters, just watch instructor zero or Jerry Miculek
TheCHris8726 no i cant grasp any principle in this sort of training srry.. when i shoot at range i like to do things hastly trying to be faster at things while precise.. otherwise its boring to me
To the point instruction on a great sling. Kyle Lamb is a humble legend.
Wow, thanks! Nice camera angles, I couldn't see shit!
That beard... like he dipped his chin in a mud puddle or just went absolutely HAM on some chocolate pudding...
LOL
Just imagine, at some point he thought that looked good and nobody wanted to hurt his feelings and just laugh. He has no real friends.
LOL

Totally agree, I never saw where he attached the sling on the rail

Great video. I love watching true experts teach basic principles. Thanks
That beard is weird!
this is like an educational movie!
LOVE IT!
to the point! varieties! application!
well done sirs!
Advantage over single point sling, it rarely knocks you in the family jewels
Right, but if you're about to be whacked upside the head with a skateboard or jumpstomped or shot at by a commie with a Glock while you're flat on your ass, accept no substitutes.

Spot on. See my response to wrushbo comment. I said basically the same thing.
Finally, not just a wise ass.
Really great sling, however with all “accessories needed” in my opinion should some with the sling, all out the door is about $125, we are talking single with metal buckle, quick detach swivel, and the low profile sling mount.
My two favorite parts were when the camera was one block away and when ol puddin beard covered every movement with his body.
My thoughts exactly!
The v-tac slings are all I buy. Great slings!!!
LOL when people have youtube arguments over a $50 sling XD
Got one yesterday just to try out. I have 2 vickers slings, already think theyre easier and more simple.

just bought one this video helped i still gotta play around with it some and adjust though
This is the best sling video on youtube.
Ive had many slings and most of them end up in the pile under my work bench, the VTac sling is on my primary and love it so much I had to get more than one.
5:19 who else saw his barrel vibrate like hell??
No offense, I really like the 5.11 brand and VTAC, but what was the camera guy thinking? At now point does it actually show a clear view of the setup.
Is it normal for the quick detach buckle to sit directly below the armpit? I’m having issues reaching it.
For a instructional video The camera work sucks! Thanks
Well, for Close quarters combat I'd do an mk18 with an eotech, Magpul afg2 angled fore grip
I just received mine in the mail today. I'm looking forward to running and gunning the AR with it
Just ordered mine!!!!!!!
Awesome video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
The Kenosha kid just showed what you can do with a single point sling.
Spot on video. A great, versatile sling.
Lovin' it. Mine works flawlessly. Thanks
Thanks for the tips.
Frank Proctor way of the gun sling is the best thing going. Way cheaper too.
The demonstration in this video regarding the sling is way complicated,
Frank Proctor heavy duty sling (PHD)... The best! IMO of course.
Thanks......That helped. :)
Kyle never goes to a knee, laying prone or uses the sling to steady the rifle in this video. How exactly is shooting only while standing, 'using' the sling?
what is going on with that beard?!
sik59rt
It's the Viking Tactics Offset Ginger Beard
it looks retarded
baha first thing I noticed.
+sik59rt It's not a beard it's a neck!
sik59rt kyles beard or the other guys Kyle's a Viking so it's ok for him but that othèr dude
I keep my quick sling slide to the front but I also have a blue force sling
Great overview
I use an old seatbelt from a 75 plymouth
CW M Lmao
So much very good
what pistol grip is that? looks modified
Well Done.
How about a list of part that I need for installation?
Wtf are you talking about. Is a sling for God sake. Want some engineered drawings to go along with that? Oh let me guess you want to see if you can make these and sell them yourself. Sorry but 5.11 already makes them in china.
Sling prices are out of hand...$40...$60 for nylon webbing.
Spend $20 and be done with it.

Seeing as how things are going we WILL be on the same lines.
Stock up, gentlemen.
Still dont know how to hook the sling post up to a rifle..
Is all that wobble in the barrel ok !?!?
dem drums
Me: i want captain price
Mom: we have captain price at home
The captain price at home:
Would you ever use the under the strong shoulder Carry method?

He was getting all tangled up when he was attempting to say its fast. Its not single point fast and tangles up.
If their slings are as bad as their rifle cases, don't waste your money.
