Time for a manly blog post... Note the awesome, manly photo featuring the Tacticool Dog Sling hands free leash, a good looking dog, and an extremely handsome gentleman utilizing both hands to possibly defend his home, his family, or his life. Tacticool Dog Sling! GET SOME!!!
OK, so I think we've covered it before, that I am a firearms enthusiast. It's my job and my hobby. I constantly tinker. The idea for our TDS Leash came from a rifle sling, and the leash was developed during one of my tinkering sessions. I welcome my constant tinkering, because that tinkering is what leads to innovation, especially when it comes our TDS Gear.
So today I whipped up a 2 point sling for my AK variant rifle. I utilized a 1.5" cotton web, it's a low stretch, high strength material. The sling utilizes HK hooks to connect the sling to the rifle, and a quick disconnect, side release buckle to release the rifle from the operator. The sling also has multiple adjustment points via steel strap slides.The sling is primarily designed to connect at 2 points. (hence, 2 point sling) Luckily, the rear sling mount on the rifle has enough room for 2 HK hooks, so I can use the sling as a single point also (attaching to the rifle at one point). Still, I think I might modify the sling to allow it to convert to single point. It works for now, but again I'm a constant tinkerer...

| HK Hook and Steel strap slide, note the stitching is similar to the style used on our leashes. This connection is at the front of the rifle. |

| Another HK Hook. This time it's used on the rear of the rifle. |

| Here is the sling in 2 Point configuration. |

| The same connections this time both are attached that the rear of the rifle. |

| This shows the sling in single point configuration. |
