Overview
Built for shooters who want a traditional leather sling with a secure, adjustable setup, this model is suited to hunting, competition, and range use. It uses hand-made bridle leather with brass hardware, including a locking buckle and screw fasteners designed to keep the sling in place. The Ching Specialty design is a 3-point sling developed with Gunsite, and it includes a center strap for added function.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sling swivels are not included, so this setup requires compatible swivels already on the firearm or purchased separately.
- The 1" width offers a slimmer profile, which may be less substantial than the wider 1 1/4" version for users who prefer more surface area.
- As a 3-point sling, it is more specialized than a simple two-point design and may suit hunters and shooters who want that specific carry and support style.
- The center strap is included, but the overall system depends on proper adjustment and setup to take advantage of the multiple length positions.
