How to Rig a One-Point Sling

A one-point sling is also known as a tactical sling. One-points are made to be used with military-issued rifles but have caught on in the paintball world. A one-point sling is worn like a cross-shouldered bandoleer, letting the rifle hang in the front of your torso when you are hiding, stalking or on the move. One-point slings are used for mobility and accuracy, as are most slings.

      Clip the single clip to the paintball rifle or military-issued firearm at the stock's narrowest point behind the trigger housings. Most paintball weapons have swivel-studs for slings. If yours does not, wrap the single-connection loop of the sling around the narrow point of the neck on the rifle stock and connect the female end to the male end of the quick-clip mechanism.

      Slide the one-point sling over your dominant shoulder and then up and around the neck and back. Think of the sling like a messenger bag sling or a bandoleer, making it go across the chest and back at an angle. Let the rifle hang down in the center of the chest with the barrel pointing to the ground.

      Take your knee-stance for a shot. This sees the non-dominant knee and leg on the ground with the dominant up and used as a balance. Move the sling around the back so the rifle comes up to the shooting position. The quick-clip connection pivots up toward the non-dominant side as you slide it up and around for the shot.

      Keep the sling in the same position as Step 3 to do a side carry when stalking or hiking. Keep the firearm between the armpit-arm and body.
