Ching Sling
The Ching sling is a tactical rifle sling created by Eric S. H. Ching (13 August 1951 – 28 July 2007) and popularized by Jeff Cooper. The purpose of the sling is to stabilize the rifle as a shooting aid with a minimal amount of adjustment. Origins While slings have occasionally been employed as shooting aids, most systems were awkward to handle and required a significant amount of time to implement. In 1986 Ching took a rifle class at the American Pistol Institute (now called Gunsite Academy) in Paulden, Arizona under Jeff Cooper and becoming mildly irritated with the military sling's disadvantages, Eric Ching conceived a sling system which was handier and quicker. The sling was adopted by Cooper in his scout rifle system and named after Ching. Galco offers Ching slings as well as their Safari Ching Sling (8 oz) the 3rd generation of the sling that requires only two sling swivels. Operation Like the CW Sling, the Ching sling uses three sling sockets. Unlike the CW Sling, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
