The Allen 8357 Aspen rifle sling combines traditional nubuck leather construction with modern BakTrak non-slip backing technology for superior weapon retention during transport and field use. This 2-point sling system provides stable carry while maintaining quick shouldering capability for both rifles and shotguns.
What Makes This Different
The BakTrak backing material distinguishes this sling from standard leather alternatives by preventing slippage on clothing and gear. Where conventional leather slings can slide around during movement, the textured backing maintains consistent positioning. The 3-inch width distributes weight more effectively than narrow slings, reducing shoulder fatigue during extended carry periods.
Key Features
- BakTrak non-slip backing prevents sling movement on clothing and gear
- Premium gray nubuck leather construction resists cracking and weather damage
- 3-inch width distributes weapon weight across broader shoulder area
- Adjustable length from 28 to 35 inches accommodates various body sizes and carry positions

Field performance centers on the sling's ability to maintain weapon security during dynamic movement while allowing rapid transition to shooting position. The leather construction provides quiet operation compared to synthetic alternatives, making it suitable for hunting applications where noise discipline matters. The BakTrak backing performs consistently in wet conditions, maintaining grip when traditional leather becomes slippery.
