How to make a gun sling with 550 paracord. Cheap, Easy, Quick.

[@PROTOSLEDGE]

I just sat down and made one for my Break-action shotgun I've been too cheap to buy a real sling for. Thanks for the great video!

[@beanerooutdoors9213]

Absolutely bud. I'm the same way. Some places and websites charge 50 to 100 bucks, I thought that's ridiculous when you can do it less than 15. Thanks for watching and the comment bud!

[@Vubbiesss]

Awesome tutorial! Easy to follow but no important steps left out. For those interested in making the braided section a little longer, here's the lengths I used: Smaller inner cord length: 12' (aka 6' on each side) Longer Outer cord length: 38' (aka 19' on each side) Using these lengths I ended up with a 46" braided section.

Dude! Andrew you're the man! Thanks for commenting and watching my video. I appreciate you're comment and the support bud!

[@williambond8566]

Just got started using Paracord. Many styles out there for slings. Yours is so Cheap, easy and quick. Will be my first project. Very helpful on how you got the swivels attached. Many of the others tie them in right from the beginning and that requires you to know how long you want it off the bat. Yours allows you to vary the length as you progress through the weave. Well done!

[@beanerooutdoors9213]

Thanks William! That's the most detailed thank you and I appreciated it bud. I appreciate ya letting me know that makes my video different from others. I can't say enough how much I appreciate your comment. It makes me look in the future on what I can do the separate myself from other channels on videos. Thanks again bud!

[@beanerooutdoors9213]

Awesome! Thank ya! I really need to make some other tutorials for you and others. Just been worn out from work lol. Thanks for the shout out and comment!

[@JessSinha]

Great tutorial, just an idea though: I am making a few of these, and I found that if you measure out the length you want the sling to be, you can just take the entire length of paracord, do a simple slip knot on one attachment, measure the length you want it to be and then do another slip knot on the other attachment, then start the macrame pattern. That way you have one very long piece of paracord instead of two shorter pieces. The whole point of using paracord is so if you need cordage, you have it. Just figuring that one long piece would be more useful than two shorter pieces in an emergency.

[@JessSinha]

You can also double the center section (the length part) so that you have even more paracord and a wider sling. :)

[@beanerooutdoors9213]

That's perfect! Thanks for the tip and watching. Also, you are absolutely right. Your suggestion makes a little more sense, in my opinion. As my Papa always used to say, "there's more than one way to skin a squirrel," lol. Thanks for the tip, and I'm definitely gonna give your way a try. I like the "making it more wide" approach. Thank you so much again for the comment and for taking the time to chat with me!

[@biglaundry8536]

This tutorial was great and I was able to make a cool braided paracord wrist strap for my archery release.

[@beanerooutdoors9213]

That is awesome! Thanks for the comment and watching! I'm gonna try to make a video, making one with an 1100 cord. Just for a little more padding and area to fit on your shoulder. Thanks for Watching and Happy New Years!

is there a weave that is wider for a shotgun sling I been working to find one 👍

[@beanerooutdoors9213]

I'm not certain bud. I was thinking and couldn't really come up with anything. Unless you weaved around the original weave ya did and make the middle your first finished weave and then weave around it. Maybe that would widen it.. Hopefully I was able to explain that to where it's not too confusing haha.

I've just determined prior to making the length i need and the entite sling is made from one long piece. Never know if you may need the length in a pinch. Just put both swivels on and start like a bracelet and finish it.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chad! It's definitely a good idea, and like my papa said, "There's more than one way to skin a squirrel," lol. Thanks for watching and the comment!

Why is the starter knot so bulky??? Why not just use a girth hitch, rove however many times you need to get the width and thickness you want, then cobra weave over everything...

You could definitely use a smaller knot probably. I just did it that way to give a simple blueprint, and then you can improve from mine by what you recommended. Thank ya for watching and subscribing, I greatly appreciate it! Have a good weekend!
