Stretchy or taut slings

Post by loopal » 16 Oct 2014, 6:06 pm

I can't make my mind up which one to get.

I've had an bit of paracord for ages which is getting real old like you'd guess.

Stretchy good for the comfort or does it get annoying bouncing around while you walk?

I've got a buffalo river sling with taut strap and stretchy rubber shoulder piece and it works brilliantly. Only really bounces when I'm running and that's a good thing.

I have a mixture of both, stretchy on the heavy rifles and normal on the lighter stuff.
