Abstract: A rifle sling for steadying the left arm of the shooter, comprises a length of band or strap material (1) which has an upper arm loop (8) at one end and a hand loop (6) at the other end, said loops being inter-connected by a middle portion. The upper arm loop (8) has a double portion extending between a tightening buckle (2) and an adjustment buckle (3). By using these buckles to adjust the length of the double portion, both the upper arm loop (8) and the middle portion of the sling can be adjusted to fit the shooter. The sling may be worn in a non-operable condition with the upper arm loop (8) tightened around the upper arm of the user and with the hand loop (6) tucked in under the upper arm loop. When assuming a shooting position, the user loosens the hand loop (6) and puts his four fingers through the loop, thus tensioning the middle portion of the sling and steadying his arm while the fore-end of the gun rests in his palm.
