"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Which sling?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a sling for a hunting rifle?

Re: Which sling?
One doesn't realise how important a question that is, until one drops it on its scope!
I've got several slings...all with good fittings.

Re: Which sling?
Ouch!
Actually I still have to smile thinking of my husband who came limping over to me with a painful grimace on his face, he had just dropped his AI with the barrel end first down onto his little toe. Pretty kewl I thought, nothing happened to the barrel, feck it he thought, broken toe.
It wasn't broken...but you know men, they always have to dramatise.
Waaha ha ha
:lol: :lol: :P

Here we go FB style.
Other good use for baler twine...Tie some 'round your waste over a coat...keeps you warm.

I understand now why you commented on the hole at the end of the AIM bags,
A barrel could easily slip through there to attack your toes!

Re: Which sling?
I was using my trusty old L96A1 bag that came off eBlag for under a tenner, it came without straps so I added some ALICE straps and there lies the problem, they are of a synthetic material that is quite slippery so as I rolled it off my right shoulder it just got away from me, luckily I was wearing boots, having broken two toes in that foot already I really did not want to make it a hat trick!
On the subject of bailing twine I remember seeing a picture of an Indian Army sniper climbing scaffolding during the Mumbai massacre. He had a Dragunov SVD over his shoulder and was using some blue polypropylene rope as a sling.

Re: Which sling?
My advice would be is to makesure that you attach both ends of the sling to both ends of the rifle...
