Haley Strategic releases the long awaited D3 Sling and Travis goes over the fit and function of the sling. For more details and to get your D3 Sling go to haleystrategic.com/catalogsea...
I feel like they listen to the I'm put of those who use it, and don't release a product until it'd perfect (in their eyes) for the intended use. it's a good business model
Looks like a cool sling! Also this video is a damn good guide to just getting the proper fit on any quick adjust 1 to 2 point sling! Thanks for the tips!
Slings have always been "confusing" for me and this video is really good at explaining how to fit, attach, etc. No bullshit. You sold me and I shall buy one. Thanks!
Awesome!!! Being able to change from a two point to single was the reason I got the MS2 when it was introduced. Few years later now, it could use some padding and seriously considered going to Blue Force. But damn......this D3 Sling got my attention!!!
damn you travis! damn you! i was actually sowing a sling kind of like that myself with the climbing webbing, I was struggling a bit. I am actually using the old latches from the alice packs; a seal showed me that on my last deployment in 2011. I have to say i love the video. you addressed all the issues i was having with the body armor we have it just sucks. I cant stress enough on how your videos and equipment is awesome and helpful for us to use and work with. i hate looking at products and struggling to figure out if i want to spend the money on it just to miss the point and not use it properly or its subpar. I hate to say it but im not a pro and i screw shit up all the time. When you add videos to go with your products and how to use them makes life so much easier. i watch it and learn and the light bulb goes off, "oh that so much easier"! thank you very much for everything you do and what you do.
I picked one of these up from Bravo Company and am impressed. Coming from a VTAC 2 point padded sling, I didn't think it could improve much. I always appreciated the theory behind the Magpul slings, but not the materials or execution. I'm actually shocked by how long it took to come out with a sling that seems so simple, lightweight, and functional. Job well done, Travis.
Submit it to The Marine Corps. Send free samples to infantry battalion gunners and make them an offer they can't refuse. This is a good investment. Grunts get fucked with shit gear, hook it up. It's a small investment and if the product is something you believe is superior then it will be widely adopted. This'll be great for assaultmen, scout snipers, and just about anyone rocking two weapons. We've all seen that Marine who has to awkwardly toss his rifle behind his back to employ an AT4 inadvertently flowerpotting. Fruit for thought
+TheActiveAssault Well, the Corps never got the MS3 sling from magpul either. Currently the only approved slings are parade slings, 3 point slings, and the Vickers blue force sling.
+TheActiveAssault I know the Marines issue inadequate gear to you guys. I don't know if you could buy one and use it in the field as regs change a lot.
Tacticalgunguy1989 The 3 I listed above are the only officially allowed and, as far as I know, regulations state no others can be used. But you're unlikely to have someone enforce it, and if they do, that's a huge sign of a bad leader, provided you aren't trying to use a sling you made out of duct tape and paracord.
My original MS1 broke a few months ago. It held out for many years and was over all a good sling. This however is clearly an evolution on the MS line. Very cool and very interested.
I just put my BCM HSP Jack in layaway this week basically saw the Haley strategic logo on the side along with the BCM logo and decided that was the way to go with my next rifle would love to bring it to one of your carbine classes when you head back east
video summed up - 2 point is for weapon carrying. 1 point is for weapon maneuvering. D3 sling does both, and switches between the two quickly and effectively.
Love the concept behind the adaptability of all the D3 gear. I like having options. random question btw. the D3 logo would make a badass shirt or patch. Have you ever thought of making at least a limited run?
sweet!! that looks awesome I'll be buying a couple of those! (how about a video of some of your personal carbine setups and why) great company great channel
There are three things I notice that Travis says alot: 1. "weapons manipulation" 2. "combat effectiveness" 3. "mm, kay?/"Okay?" The first two makes you sound like a damn salesman, lol! So good, in fact, I bought a D3 sling and a Thorntail mount. Can wait till it shows up at my door tomorrow!
I fucked up and just now finally bought this to replace my old Magpul one. While yes its only a sling but what a difference it makes in weight and comfort
Looks like an awesome sling. Did you already cut the excess tail on the sling in the video, or is that as long as it is? I'm a big guy and it doesn't look like there's much extension left below that fit buckle.
+HaleyStrategic man would love to see you using all your gear in all of its various applications at the same time. you should make a movie or something. love the content you put out and love your attitude/philosophy. keep it up.
I just purchased one for work and look forward to trying it out. Mr. Haley would you have any sugestions or thoughts for a situation where it becomes necessery to shoot while using the D3 Sling in the two point configuration. Also would you consider demonstrating the recommend method for getting into the sling quickly, ie. deploying from a LE car with a weapon rack. Thank you
Very nice sling. Reminds me of Savvy Sniper's slings. One recommendation, use the jacquard loom Multicam webbing. It doesn't fade as bad, grabs better and most of all looks way better than printed MC webbing.
Exactly what I have been looking for, $89 is pricey but if I assume (I think rightfully so) that the quality of parts and build quality is high (won't be falling apart on me or tearing or have sub-par sling swivel's that stop working) then I have no problem paying that price.
I just got my D3 sling in the mail the other day with the QD thorntail, my question is for 2 point mode for a longer barrel rifle do you recommend going tight to the rear of the handguard like yours there or further down?
Man. Just watching you execute these things I've never had to think about is mind-blowing. I want to take every single one of your damn classes before I make my way off this space rock. Why? Because Merica'
Just so happens I was looking for a 2 to single point sling. HSP has a history of well thought out and quality products. Ordered this and Tactical Link bungee convertible sling. No need for 2 point slings anymore. For me anyway.
Great run down, have a question- are there other options on the connect points, understood what you have on one the current sling is the way to go, but I'm currently running a Magpul ASP setup, any suggestions?
Wanted to give some feedback on the sling I purchased. I love it but you need more material (needs to be longer) if one were to ever use it on a vest. I barely have enough length for it to fit on me. I'm about average to a little above average in size. I really like it though. Material is nice
I just got my sling and am having trouble with the fit. I'm a smaller build and have already adjusted the fit buckle. I've pulled in a lot of slack, but I find that my weapon tends to pull down on the sling and bring the pad off my shoulder. It seems like the fit buckle is good for fine tuning but if I bring it way in it just throws the system out of whack. The "solution" is to pull the adjustment handle back to around 80%, but then it's way far back and out of my reach. It works pretty well, but negates the benefit of the quick adjustment feature altogether. Any tips? At this point I either cut and resize the strap under my left arm or build a bigger chest.
These things sell out so fast. Been trying to get coyote with the QD points for like 3 months. They have a new auto-notify feature though. Which is cool.
Awesome piece of hardware, I will look into getting one for myself. What are the pants you are wearing in the action shots? The M81 woodland pants. Look like Crye Field pants but in M81?
Not sure. They still going with the drawing the cord towards the body not away from the body like the Ares sling does. One would have to buy one to see.
I think I'll be getting one of these for my Daniel Defense M4. Anything I need to know when it comes to installing the sling on the rifle since it doesn't have a keymod rail? I shoot a Daniel Defense M4V1
+Travis Haley Thank you sir! I have a 2 Gun match in a few days and the steel is at 300 yards. I run an EOTech 512, so should I get a magnifier? Is there anything you'd recommend I should do to make it easier to hit those targets?
Hey Travis what sweater were you wearing in the clips when you were switching from right to left and clearing the house, and in your urban prone position shooting??
the one he used in the house is made by Desert Design & Development LLC. it's an awesome 9mm carbine and is one of the quietest firearms I've ever heard.
Saw this video and was extremely interested. I like lightweight and functional sling with padding. Until I saw the $90 price tag. Back to my other brand slings...
The greatest thing your company offers is the absolute methodical thinking and planning y'all put into your products.
I feel like they listen to the I'm put of those who use it, and don't release a product until it'd perfect (in their eyes) for the intended use. it's a good business model
So hot, Haley
Daddy?
Dad
Don't Let this die!!! Dad!!??
Dad!!???
Mom?
B-)
Product demo and an education. Love it. Great work.
Looks like a cool sling! Also this video is a damn good guide to just getting the proper fit on any quick adjust 1 to 2 point sling! Thanks for the tips!
Got mine in the mail yesterday. I'm loving it already. Good stuff Travis!
Slings have always been "confusing" for me and this video is really good at explaining how to fit, attach, etc. No bullshit. You sold me and I shall buy one. Thanks!
Awesome!!! Being able to change from a two point to single was the reason I got the MS2 when it was introduced. Few years later now, it could use some padding and seriously considered going to Blue Force. But damn......this D3 Sling got my attention!!!
Thanks for the great video. I’ll be watching this again when my sling comes in the mail. Just ordered it this afternoon!
Very well thought out product, great video! I always look forward to your videos
Ordered, love this company! Ranger Green in the future I hope.
I just purchased the D3 sling and like it. Did my adjustment and now to get use to it and practice. 👍
Thorough and concise, good info Marine. I do like that sling.
damn you travis! damn you! i was actually sowing a sling kind of like that myself with the climbing webbing, I was struggling a bit. I am actually using the old latches from the alice packs; a seal showed me that on my last deployment in 2011.

Been running this with a small Radian AR for 2-gun matches. Pretty happy with it
Perfect. just simply perfect.
You've done it again!

+TheActiveAssault The politics are not as simple as giving them the best available, unfortunately.

good to know.
I've been waiting for this
can't wait to try one!
Looks Awesome.
Great video, I already have one coming in the mail
Thank you!
Another must have.

very nice! lots of slings out there...
Good job!
Nice!

How is that Trijicon MRO holding up ?
Looks like an awesome sling. Did you already cut the excess tail on the sling in the video, or is that as long as it is? I'm a big guy and it doesn't look like there's much extension left below that fit buckle.
Ordered one as soon as possible, thanks... question, what boots are Mr Haley wearing in the demo portions of the vid?
Hey travis, I love this product. I just don't have a QD adapter on the back end of my rifle. Do you offer separate attachments for the sling?
Pretty cool
Late to this party but, Travis nice explanation on how to fit a sling.
awesome!!!
Great product, looking forward to using it in the future. By the way, what kind of 9mm Carbine you use in the video? Thanks
Grey, Please! And I guess some people might want foliage green, too. Those ought to cover just about everybody.
+boatrat74 coming next
+HaleyStrategic man would love to see you using all your gear in all of its various applications at the same time. you should make a movie or something. love the content you put out and love your attitude/philosophy. keep it up.
hahahah...mine just arrived..........I LOVE IT!!!

Jimmy Stare changed my life
Very nice sling. Reminds me of Savvy Sniper's slings. One recommendation, use the jacquard loom Multicam webbing. It doesn't fade as bad, grabs better and most of all looks way better than printed MC webbing.
yup
This guy is just too awesome (Y)
Hey Travis,do you have to buy a certain kind of rail system in to use the sling?
Exactly what I have been looking for, $89 is pricey but if I assume (I think rightfully so) that the quality of parts and build quality is high (won't be falling apart on me or tearing or have sub-par sling swivel's that stop working) then I have no problem paying that price.
great i just bought an ms3
I just want to know about the rifles in the bakground and why he chose to outfit them in such a way. Always willing to learn from the best!
I just got my D3 sling in the mail the other day with the QD thorntail, my question is for 2 point mode for a longer barrel rifle do you recommend going tight to the rear of the handguard like yours there or further down?
Man. Just watching you execute these things I've never had to think about is mind-blowing. I want to take every single one of your damn classes before I make my way off this space rock. Why? Because Merica'
Weird question, but where did you get the ear socket covers for you Gatorz? Thanks in advance.
Great product, make it in OD green!
Are they still making this sling?
Just so happens I was looking for a 2 to single point sling. HSP has a history of well thought out and quality products. Ordered this and Tactical Link bungee convertible sling. No need for 2 point slings anymore. For me anyway.
Waiting on that D3 Redi Mag.....
I like the single point hardware is hight up
Great run down, have a question- are there other options on the connect points, understood what you have on one the current sling is the way to go, but I'm currently running a Magpul ASP setup, any suggestions?
+Long Range Medic options coming in the next month or so
Wish he showed where he plugged it into the front of the rifle
It,s a Very good sling I,m gonna get one .
In this video 04:42 you were with a rifle. What kind of shroud there instead of a compensator.
I want those gun display racks in the background
Do you have a eta on when you might have more incog shadow eclipse xc-1e holsters in stock?
Wanted to give some feedback on the sling I purchased. I love it but you need more material (needs to be longer) if one were to ever use it on a vest. I barely have enough length for it to fit on me. I'm about average to a little above average in size. I really like it though. Material is nice
I knew this was coming. I new you changing your profile pic was a sign.
Can this be used primarily as a two-point while firing or was the two-point aspect designed for slinging it on your back?
What kind of sling mount do you need for this? Or does this just magically click onto the stock endplate?
I just got my sling and am having trouble with the fit. I'm a smaller build and have already adjusted the fit buckle. I've pulled in a lot of slack, but I find that my weapon tends to pull down on the sling and bring the pad off my shoulder.

It works pretty well, but negates the benefit of the quick adjustment feature altogether.
Any tips? At this point I either cut and resize the strap under my left arm or build a bigger chest.
I was curious what gloves Travis was wearing at 5:12. Figured out they were Firm Grip Trade Master gloves from Home Depot.
Which QD connector would you recommend for the 870?
Well I guess if Arcteryx won't do it, you guys might as well. looks good. Similar to the Arcteryx H150 riggers belt.
Is there a reason why in the 2 point configuration when you pull the tab towards the muzzle it loosens rather than tighten
Just got mine. It's legit. I'm color coordinated as shit with that coyote.
These things sell out so fast. Been trying to get coyote with the QD points for like 3 months. They have a new auto-notify feature though. Which is cool.
Took one year to get one in Coyote Tan man what a wait xD I think I missed an in-stock notification or two though.
Sorry Travis, you and Chris already got me hooked on the Magpul slings.
Awesome piece of hardware, I will look into getting one for myself.
What are the pants you are wearing in the action shots? The M81 woodland pants. Look like Crye Field pants but in M81?
+Julian Tang Someone said they were Drifire Woodland combat pants, not sure if that's correct.
Would you size this sling with your chest rig on or not?
Lol 7 years ago yall had it in Ranger Green on the thumbnail but only just now released it😂
Men, would love to see this thing fitting the G36.
Greetings from Germany.
do you ship to the UK?
I know what I'm getting next. What make is that AR 9 and what hoodie is that? Gracias.
Pretty nice but I have an Ares Armor Huskey Amentum Slider Sling that I threw a tri glide QD on and it is PERFECT.
+vegitagt I'm wondering if this can be used like the huskey, in the supported off hand position where the rifle basically holds itself.
Not sure. They still going with the drawing the cord towards the body not away from the body like the Ares sling does. One would have to buy one to see.
Now combine the sling with magpuls QDs and you'll have an awesome system.
+Demon of the Desert Sun (LAD) agreed, the QDM is superior.
Can we expect a video on the new Thirteen sights?
I think I'll be getting one of these for my Daniel Defense M4. Anything I need to know when it comes to installing the sling on the rifle since it doesn't have a keymod rail? I shoot a Daniel Defense M4V1
+Travis Haley Thank you sir! I have a 2 Gun match in a few days and the steel is at 300 yards. I run an EOTech 512, so should I get a magnifier? Is there anything you'd recommend I should do to make it easier to hit those targets?
+haleystrategic will these slings only be offered with the QD mounts?
get in touch with me for another option with exactly the same features minus pad and been around for years.
what were the boots Travis was wearing?
What are the benefits of actually switching shoulders and taking your hands off fire control over just a more simple and faster shoulder bump? .-.
Who makes the 9mm AR you're using @ 5:00 min into the video?
Hey Travis what sweater were you wearing in the clips when you were switching from right to left and clearing the house, and in your urban prone position shooting??
That is an older TAD gear fleece
can you bring back the old shooting caps like the ranger green tan and black hats
Yes but will it cost as much as my riffle did ?
What are your thoughts on pistol caliber carbines? The one you had was pretty cool.
+justus005 I think his is not as much of a PCC but more of a this is a sub gun with AR style controls.
the one he used in the house is made by Desert Design & Development LLC. it's an awesome 9mm carbine and is one of the quietest firearms I've ever heard.
I see you traded the Garmin for the Apple Watch. Adapting to your environment. 👍
Very Nice!
QD only..?
+Brian ONeal fo r right now then more options are coming soon
Saw this video and was extremely interested. I like lightweight and functional sling with padding. Until I saw the $90 price tag. Back to my other brand slings...
any plans for kryptek colors?
