I love wit like this. You sir are a legend.
It be like that though
The sling-toss thing is great, but be aware of your charging handle if you are using an AK. The pain of a charging handle making love to your spine is like nothing else.
Song in Silence Just reading this made me cringe.
The screams of a thousand vertibre all crying out at once
Yah. Best done with a plate carrier. If you are practicing and don’t want to be the goober in his living room in his silkies and a plate carrier, take the bolt carrier out. She’ll be missing the dust cover and everything but no biggie.
Pain is gain.
Stille Nacht uh, who wouldn’t want to be in boxers and a plate carrier at all times?
I love the fact that the backdrop looks like a greenscreen of the most stereotypical arizona landscape, but its somehow real.
This is nothing, you should see their exploded meth lab filming location. Nothing more Arizona than that.
Drove into town one time and the small shack on the side of a hill next to the highway blew up, found out later "Never make Chili and Meth in the same kitchen" as the fire department put it in it's report. Didn't mind the transfer orders out of Arizona at that point.
I think it's because that's literally all that's down there.
As an Arizonian, I suggest including air conditioning in your plans unless you migrate to the northern part of the state in the summer!
That is AZ. From Southern AZ to well north on the 10/19. It has a brief green season though after the monsoons. If you want to live in AZ I would suggest Sierra Vista. Its 10 degrees cooler than the rest of the state due to elevation. Granted its still hot but triple digit hell doesn't happen as often. lol
It took me forever to find a video discussing a sling with tension for accuracy. I run mine through my hand and it works. I'm far more stable and my arm doesn't get tired. Why is this no longer discussed? My whole RUclips feed is nothing but gun channels.. I've never seen this and its extremely beneficial.
Awesome!
I've made this style sling nearly 15 years ago. You attach an ALICE pack tension strap to a standard G.I. M16/M4 sling. Still have it, still works great.
@LionelRichiesCrackpipe , LOL
I believe I have found a true, value added use for a three-point sling. Compelled by a range master to use one, I promptly accepted the offered three point sling and whipped said range master with it until we all agreed that a two point sling would be OK. Seriously, great video on use of 2 point quick adjust slings. Nice to see an accurate and clear review on the fundamentals of a subject we all tend to overthink.
20 Minute discussion and showcase of a certain type of rifle sling, this is exactly the content I'm looking for! Keep being awesome. When not wearing a ballistic west I also prefer a 2 point sling. Else a 1 pointer.
Han Yolo i prefer the ballistic east :p

Put this on a t-shirt yo!
But do these slings take glock mags?
Yes.
Ha !
Best comment lol
With the proper application of just a few knots, anything is possible.
Now this is what I backed you for. Great stuff.
I never get tired of all the forward assist trolling.
And now for "Ian's Guide to the 2 Point Plain Jane Surplus Sling"
It's a sling, you carry the rifle on your shoulder with it
Lol, that would be the whole video
@@Rltvader1 I'd still watch it.
Ha! But he already laid it out in this video at 2:05 when he said: "...a two-point sling is strap, hook, hook; goes on the rifle." As Josh Y already said, I'd still watch it ;D
It is nice to see that they have made the Blue Force Gear Vickers 2-Point Padded Combat Sling much easier to adjust, and with no "tail".
Instructions unclear. Got myself autoerotique asphyxiated.
Sounds like a good day! ~K
Dont you mean "semi"autoerotique asphyxiated?
@@InrangeTv 😂😂😂😂😂
No snapping your wire during the lesson
No snapping your wire during the lesson
"What are you going to do if it jams?"
"It doesn't jam"
Made me laugh.
mud test the sling
totally serious
test to see if it is possible for the mechanism to jam if used dynamically as demonstrationed here
I always chuckle when I see Ian standing to the right of a right handed person.
My brother is left handed, and growing up, we always made sure he'd sit to the left at the dinner table, because when you have a lefty sitting to the right of a righty, the elbow wars begin, lol!
With hand gestures while talking, I keep expecting these two to smack each other. I guess they're standing far enough apart. :)
I keep watching this video, and sharing it with others. I can't say enough about how great it is. Thank you Ian and Karl!
Great video guys, best how-to I've ever seen for a 2-point. After years of trying everything under the sun I found the 2-point works best for me as well. I use the Magpul MS series as I like having the option for single-point but honestly rarely use it.
I truly appreciate that you do objective tests, warts and all, on camera for our education. After all... "The dumb person makes mistakes. The smart person learns from them."
Thanks guys, great tutorial. All of my experience has been with GI web slings - I picked up a Viking Tactical 2-point to participate in a 5k next weekend and I needed a crash course!
*grabs sling and rifle to paint along with Bob Ross*
I lost it at the part when Karl made fun of forward assists :D. Great information guys, thank you.
Man, you haven't watched enough IRTV vids if _this_ time [Karl] making fun of a forward assist makes you laugh... XD
The backpack carry is perfect for climbing up a tree stand. Thus even my bolt gun has an adjustable 2 point sling on it
Huh, that’s an awesome idea! Now I gotta figure out how to add it to my Mossberg...
Karl's workout regimen is definitely paying off.
Nice video. Perfect demonstration of how easy the quick adjust sling is to pick up and use efficiently.
I have an old first gen. Viking tactical sling and I do like the design. It's easier and quicker to adjust than the sider style on the magpul slings. However the magpul slings have really nice high quality webbing material that I perfer over the thin nylon the first gen Viking sling had.
This is why you are the best and became one of two channels I give to. You taught me I have been wearing my sling wrong my entire life.
i dont have any guns, but i tried this sling out in an airsoft game and its now my favorite sling, i reccomend it to everyone.
Can I just say that I really appreciate the material you guys both put out. I've had a Magpul MS4 for a full year now but never thought to employ it in any of the manners you guys demonstrated.
Excellent! Thank you Karl. I learned a fair chunk of stuff, something I am happy to say often when I watch your videos!
Thanks guys. That was the easiest to understand demo. video of sling use I've ever seen. I got a lot of practicing ahead of me.
Watching Karl in this video reminded me to get some good knee and elbow pads. I e had knee surgery in the past and never thought that I would need them after getting into shooting. Thanks for the unspoken reminder.
Awesome content as always. The only sling training I've ever gotten was those silly marksmanship slings in j.R.O.T.C. air rifle team. Thank you guys, awesome as always on both channels.
Using your sling to aid in marksmen ship is a valuable skill, if you ever get into precision rifle matches later in life, you will use everything you learned, while slinging up is not real useful for ARs and light weight rifles like this, as soon as you start heaving 12-16 pound bolt guns into your shoulder, you will be thankful of sling techniques
I have to say this was the best sling video I have seen. I'm going with an adjustable 2 point.
I just received the BlueForce 2 point adjustable sling that I ordered a week ago for my first rifle and this video popped up in my RUclips feed. It's like Divine Intervention. Thank you so much for the video guys. It's 3am and you guys have me wearing a t-shirt, boxers and an AR15. Liked and subbed.
honestly loved this video! youve really opened my eyes to 2 point slings. my biggest gripe with them was their lack of offhand shooting capability, but now that i know this technique ill be sure to pick one up! this is what i signed up to patreon for!
As a lefty (by eye dominance/vision requirement) Im glad you show it from both hands. Very useful!
Being a "southpaw" Thank you, so much! Showing it both ways.
Excellent content. Has to be one of the best that I have seen on this topic. Thanks for sharing.
Wow I really learned something from this video. I had never heard of a sling as a stabilization aid.
Actually everything in this video was new to me. I love it!
🤔🙄😲😲😲😳😳😳🥺🥺🥺
Great video. Love these detailed segments focused on practical skills and essential equipment. I send thee one million virtual doll hairs to support the project.
This video is explained well, very helpful, and informative. Also, you guys work great together. Please keep the rifle tips comin'!! Thank you both! Subbed!!
Great video guys, well done! I learned a lot from this coming from surplus slings to a Vickers. Just used the muzzle down on a hike today in fact
Excellent video!!! I have been hoping you two would revisit slings, fantastic stuff!!
Luv the "Operator's Guide" videos!! More please :) Thanks guys!!
Best 2 point sling video on you tube.
Keep up the good work
Great video. I recently got a BFG Vickers sling and I love it. I'm getting an adjustable 2-point for each long-gun now. I'll probably get another Vickers for my other favorite rifle and cheaper Magpuls for my lower mileage rifles and shotguns.
I've been watching all the sling vids, and this one excellent!
I've been wanting a way to sling my rifle while stalk hunting, but be ready to fire, if need be. These methods are GREAT. Appreciate it, guys. I don't have a quick adjustable sling yet. Mine is adjustable, but kinda slow. Time to go shopping on Amazon. I also have mine fixed too close to my muzzle. It's time to change that!
Great Tutorial.
I will apply this to my training. Great Job👍
Man, this is such a great video. Thank you for sharing - subscribed!
Hey Karl, I noticed you were sporting a Bianchi um84 type holster...that's my favorite holster! I'm glad I'm not the only one haha
Watched and followed along at home. Very helpful.
As someone who owns the VTACS sling and loves it, I'd highly recommend Gear Dynamics slings. Great, durable, low-profile slings that dont have the long hanging piece that the VTACS has. It comes in any colour or camo pattern you could want. I use it on my service rifle and it has never let me down
Excellent! Can't wait to try these techniques!
You're a good teacher. Nice explanations.
Great content!
As always.
Thanks guys!
Excellent video guyz!!! Keep up the good work!
Awesome sling use tutorial! I'd love to see more content like this, particularly some stuff geared for those of us in the audience that aren't already experienced shooters. Maybe something on proper use of iron sights, or general marksmanship fundamentals?
Is that the same shooting mat that Ian bleed on?
Yep. ~K
I recently grabbed a T.A.B. GEAR 2-point with HK hooks on discount. NO idea how to use it over all the regular 2-point and 3-point tac slings I've used before.
I was running a Mk12 with Ironman mentality (no sling), but this video made it worth attempting again. Actually very useful.
Thanks, third page of search results!
Excellent information. Thank you guys
Nice work! Thanks and be safe!
I love this video. I've learned alot. I'm going to save on my watch later for reference if I need it again thank you for sharing this with us. By the way I'm a new subscriber since today 12/16/18
great video guys, i will definatly be adding this to my training rutene
I set mine up to where i can sinch the gun to my body. When I unlock the tensioner all the way it is perfect lenght to get more support with a tight triangle. Love this sling.
Definitely interested in seeing a forward assist vid! Lots of different opinions on whether or not they're even necessary.
There is a lot of good information here. Thank you
I use a 7 point sling. It's next level brah
Great. I learned new things today.
Thanks!
This video was cool and I learned a few things thank you inrange
You're welcome!
That last technique works particularly well with a PPS-43
You gave me the necessary info without bullshit. Thank you.
Outstanding! Currently have a MagPul sling, so am going to try these manipulations with it first before considering the Vikings Tactical and others you mention Karl.
Great video. I have one of these slings and they are handy.
Great video guys!
Great content, I love it. I prefer the Vickers sling from Blue Force Gear, but the usage is essentially the same.
Nice! Old video but I had missed it somehow. Late father (expert pistol and rifle) taught me 3 position sling use with my .22 40 years ago. I still use those methods. This looks much more fast and handy. Will hit up the boys at Brownell's and get me a modern, fast 2 point. Strapped to my .22 rimfire AR! 🤣🤣🤣
Watching the sling vids back to back, it really seems like a two-point quick adjust sling gives you most of the benefits of a three-point sling with far less of a chance for something to get tangled.
Great Content Sirs! Thanks so much!
Nice demonstration!
I had no idea, that explains a lot thank you
Well now I’m convinced. Stuck with fixed two points for the longest time. Now i need an adjustable.
Excellent video.
Well that absolutely earned a sub.... Great video guys!
good video , informative , thanks guys!
Great content guys.
I would definitely practice these methods with an "empty" 30rd mag (ar15 platform) inserted into your rifle. I'd want to simulate with full dimensions of the rifle especially with the added length of a 30rd magazine. Great tutorial👌
Those are M-Lok right?
Yes, these rifles are M-lok. ~K
Love Love Love this video.
Ian, I can't tell you how ecstatic I was a few years ago when I discovered all your FORGOTTEN WEAPONS vids, with you handling, shooting, and disassembling guns that I had previously seen only in tiny black and white photos, with just a paragraph or two of text.... I absolutely love your content, and learn from you even when I rewatch the vids! That being said, I must respectfully disagree with your statement at 2:26, that the US GI sling was used for National Match shooting and not for actual combat. It may not have been COMMONLY used for that purpose, but I have read firsthand accounts of experienced competition riflemen that "slung up" to engage Japanese troops in the distance. Two of them were written by Marines who witnessed such a thing, and one was from a soldier who wrote of doing it himself (I don't recall the titles off the top of my head, but might be able to figure out at least one of them without too much difficulty, if you want). I found it interesting that all three instances I have found were in the Pacific islands, where you might expect that the jungle environment would preclude the use of such long range shooting skills, and I have not read of such a thing in the European or African fighting...... I love, love, LOVE your WWSD series, but in the interest of fairness I think you two need to get to work on some WWKD vids now!
I find that keeping my quick adjust 2 point all the way right for walking around and doing non gun work, (admin stuff). And strong side hasty sling.
I run it as loose as it will go for situations requiring more dynamic movement, shoulder bump (Transfer stock from strong to weak keeping hands in place, "push forward, bump to the left") instead of the weaving and waving my arms through my sling to switch shoulders.
I like 3 point. It makes a lot of sense for guys who spend all day geared up engaged in a wide variety of tasks.
For me, a One Tigris quick adjust 2 point, has been working nicely.
Great video. thank you.
Guys, thank you so much. Very informative. I now can finally practice with my carbine and Viking Tactics sling. Probably the best video out there.
great job.!!!!
The Swedish Military has an interestingly simple system for their slings with their standard issue weapon (Ak 5C) where you can decide yourself if you want 1-point or 2-point style of sling and switch between them quick and easy. Usually from what I have seen is that soldiers on guard duty use a 1-point configuration where as soldiers in a, let's say, "combat" environment tend to use it in a 2-point configuration.
Another thing about the "muzzle down" sling position: You could have the length of the sling to where the stock hangs right below the armpit. When you need your rifle, all you need is to bring it up much like drawing a handgun.
New subscriber... this helped me a lot
Great video 👍 thanks
best sling video out there
This is great information.
I've been using the VTAC sling for the past 10 years on multiple deployments and it is my favorite. Easy to adjust whether you are using no kit, armor, other stuff you are wearing. You do have to replace them every year or two of daily use and adjustment because the nylon expands (?) as it wears and won't feed smoothly. I'll have to try the adjustment for prone and off hand though.
@InRangeTV “check your chamber.. check it again.. rack, rack, rack..and you know you’re clear”.
Sooo I racked my PSA AK three times at least pointed away from everyone and at the floor of my apt.. I then attempted to dry fire.. and there’s a new hole in my kitchen floor. What went wrong?
* I KNOW I racked the gun at least three times with no mag in it. No bullet came out any of the three times.
