Since seeing Glover on the Vigilance Elite Interview and then searching Fieldcraft out, I have been very impressed with the practical, no BS, informative videos you guys put out. This was hands down the best sling video I have seen yet. I am not military but come from a military family. Trying to get prepared the last 10 years and now that my family is waking up to becoming more prepared, your type of info is invaluable. I look forward to checking out training my family with you guys. Again its the practical, no BS, non EXTREME approach your group takes that sets you apart from most of the others. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

Same here at 60 but I am starting to re think my decision on the barrel lengths I have I didn't want any ATF hassles so as of now my shortest ar is 16" and slowly coming around to the idea of a 11 or 12 inch barrel

I’ve never had a job where carrying and shooting a rifle was part of it. I only have my brains and imagination to try and figure out what might or might not be needed in a real gunfight. This basic sling how to video is so simple but so important and I never knew I needed to train it. It’s scary to think of how much I still need to know and don’t even know about it yet. Imagine getting shot in your own house cause your sling got in your way. Thanks for the insight. I will be a little less dumb because of it.

I can't believe how much I just learned from that one video! Clear, simple, and to the point! Thanks!

Love these "How To" videos. Super helpful for beginners like myself.

Good point about not having to adjust it, then you're not fumbling with it when you should be paying attention to other things. Nice video always appreciate the content

This method substitutes the quick adjust with unnecessary tucking and un tucking your arms through the sling. Much slower having to weave your arms in and out vs just adjusting with 1 quick pull

FieldCraft rocks it.....every time. No bullshit , straight forward approach to delivering very useful information and tactics.

I’ve watched 30+ videos on this topic but this one just clicked! I grabbed my AR and in 3 minutes I had these techniques down pat. I can already see how this is going to help me get on target faster and the manipulation part is simple and easy. Thanks so much for this information, keep the videos coming!

Mr. Martinez, very much like the no-nonsense, direct approach to this subject. Could you expand on this by adding other equipment like plate carriers, packs, and maybe a side arm so we can see you work around these potential "obstacles"?

A life's worth of information in a 10 minute video. Thank you.

hot damn. halfway through this video and writing it down with actual pen and ink in a notebook because I realize how valuable this homework is to practice. thanks for such a concise and focused video on manipulations with a sling. been watching a few vids to figure out ideal sling setup, and recognizing that these manipulations are going to ultimately drive those decisions with experience has been a valuable insight from this.

Why in the world would anyone dislike this video? It's well thought out, really well edited, mic'd perfectly and there's no Uhs or Uhms. Baffling.

I can answer that question for you. I gave this video a thumbs down because he is taking his arm out of the sling to shoot; making the single point of contact his neck. The quality of the video is great; but swimming your arms in and out of the sling is impractical. Go watch some other videos and see who does that.

What I love about this is take away the gun and it translates directly to the dancefloor!

Single, best, practical how to video in reference to the sling! I am a new rifle owner and I have been binging KZread for this stuff and finally found this one. Such a simple subject but covered so well in practical, easy to understand terms. Well done guys, thank you. Will be binging on your stuff here shortly.

Ah.. what we have here folks is a relic from days past. Back when the "dislike counter" was a thing.... Biden ran for president and they got rid of the dislike counter because the wh videos were going belly up and everyone could see it so they hid the dislikes to make sure he won the election. Almost sounds like manipulation if you ask me???

All functional, nothing fancy or fluff. I like it.

One of the best info vids on the fundamentals of slinging I’ve seen

I have mine setup almost the same way. I instead connected the qd to the other side of the arm brace so the sling doesn't choke you when doing shoulder transitions. It also allowed the gun to lay flatter against your chest. Great video

@@mrmidnight32 that's the beauty of quick adjust slings. Idk why he dogs on them. They allow you to have the rifle both tucked and tight, or loose and able to be shoulder transitioned with ease.

About time someone is showing how the basic rifle sling is your best all around option. Everyone and their brother's are trying to convince you to buy their adjustable slings. Back to the basics for me. 🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲

I have over 10 years in the spectrum of the SOC. I have never seen a more common sense approach to sling use and manipulation. BZ I still add a single point adapter to all my two pointers though. If you’re gonna run rooms at 3am nothing beats that single point.

(TX)(MENA) OPERATIONS seriously. Check out his slings. They’re sick. Comes with a doubled 6in bungee in case you don’t have time to release the slack with the rip cord. You can just drive the gun into position.

Good stuff! Seriously practical and helpful for anyone with a black gun. These drills work really well whether you do it five minutes or ten minutes prior to getting in the range. Great stuff and not surprised Field Craft pays this much attention to the smallest details. Love what you all do and your expertise in all areas! Thanks gents!

If you want to learn about the topics that Field Craft Survival cover . They are one of the best!!!

The best sling how-to video ever.

Hands down some of the best content I’ve seen on how to utilize a sling!

I've been trying to get comfortable with my sling. This is a great help. You guys are the best defense related channel on YT! No cheese. No gimmicks just well done vids with good straight info.

Dude I love every video you guys do. Thanks Raul thanks mike. Love how you break it down so simple with no bs

Rear QD on opposite side for me. Helps me with getting into the gun and putting it on my back. To each their own. Great video

Always look forward to hearing Mike "Coupon Cutter" Glover's bad ass content! Gratitude 🙏

Practice is what makes the user practical, and efficient!!! Wife and I are looking forward to taking a few classes... just wish we had long before now, stay safe folks!!!

This is a great option if you train a lot and I mean a lot. Most people do not train enough to make this option viable. If you do not train to carry this way you will get tangled up in your sling trying to move each arm in and out smoothly. I prefer to have the sling under my left arm with the QD near the front. To transition, I am only moving my left arm in and out of the sling. I can see the advantages of this setup. I will try this and see if it will make me reconsider my current setup. Great video with a bunch of well-thought-out and presented in an easy to understand way.

THIS is the video I needed before my first Rifle 1 class a few weeks ago. Showed up with a new AR and learned a lot, but struggled with the sling the entire class, for several reasons: length, shifting from shooting to 'admin', attachment point (the buckle consistently got wedged between the stock and my shoulder). Since then I've watched a LOT of videos but most talk about sling features and don't cover the basics of attaching the sling and using the sling. This clear, understandable demonstration clears up SO much! Thank you.

this is exactly what i was looking for. i have been trying to figure out how to use my sling. thank you

Good stuff with the sling. I like the transitions shown here. I am an old warrior now but find the videos here very useful in finding new things to incorporate in my training regiment.

Best sling video I’ve seen. Just bought my first sling last week. Gonna work on the set up this weekend. Thanks for what you do.

Great pointers. It seems everyone has their own way but yours made a lot of sense.

Please don’t ever do this. If you were in real danger, you would get killed. You should NEVER have to be slipping your arms in and out of your sling to be able to shoulder your weapon. The same way you have it in rest position, should be the exact same sling position and length as ready for a threat. That 5 seconds that your putting your arm out of your sling to be able to fire, is the 5 seconds you get shot and killed. Also, what happens when you get caught up in your sling trying to constantly pull your arms in and out? As somebody with a lot of experience, and as somebody who cares about his fellow man, please do not use any of these “techniques” in the real world, for your safety.

Being forced to have to pull your arms in and out of your sling, because of how tight it is to your body, just to be able to shoot , is the worst idea I’ve ever seen. This would most definitely get your hurt/killed in the real world. Especially if you ever got caught/hung up on your sling. You’re a goner.

This video helped me get my new sling setup started. Thanks much.

I've been using this method for a couple years and it works very well except for having to adjust for thicker clothes here in the Michigan north country. Very good video brother!

Great video, easy to follow, makes a lot of sense.

Another phenomenal video by Field Craft Survival.

Excellent Instruction and advice. Well done.

Great video to explain one way to carry an AR. Clearly shows the benefits of it. I like the idea of having a decided, one length sling - instead of sliding longer and shorter and longer and shorter. The trade off seems to be pulling arms through and out of the sling. I would say - practice at home in every possible way - and see what fits best for you. Unless you are someone who will be constantly practicing (I think there are FAR more gun owners who do not spend much time practicing), it might be a REAL good idea to find the simplest (taped down ends sounds nice), necklace carry (not complicated AT ALL) might be what would work for a huge number of people

Great info thanks for your service and willing to teach us.
