Abstract:
A rifle sling comprising a flexible strap having a first end and a second end, the first end of the strap being secured to the rifle near a muzzle end of the rifle, the second end of the strap being secured near a butt end of the rifle, and a sling clip that is secured to the hips of a bearer of the rifle, the strap being slidably received through the sling clip so that the bearer of the rifle may move the rifle from a slung position to a firing position without disconnecting the strap from the sling clip, the sling clip being further constructed and arranged such that when the rifle is in its firing position, the strap may be securely clamped within the sling clip to couple the muzzle end of the rifle to the hips of the bearer such that when the rifle is fired, the strap minimizes a rise in the muzzle end of the rifle caused by the recoil of the rifle as it is fired.
