The Allen Baktrak Traverse Sling (Grey, Model: AL8551) is a performance-driven firearm sling designed to offer balanced weight distribution and secure, non-slip shoulder retention. Engineered with Allen’s proprietary BakTrak® technology, this sling features a flexible, rubberized silicone grip tread pattern on the underside of the shoulder pad. This specialized material conforms ergonomically to the shoulder, providing grip to reduce lateral slipping when traversing steep terrain or operating in wet, rainy environments. Pair this with its lightweight, padded construction and heavy-duty 1.25-inch nylon webbing, and the AL8551 provides a quiet, reliable carrying solution for hunters and target shooters across Australia.

Key Features:

• BakTrak® Non-Slip Technology: The back of the shoulder pad is constructed with a flexible, rubberized silicone grip tread pattern that aggressively grips fabrics, preventing the firearm from slipping off your shoulder.
• Heavy-Duty Swivels: Equipped with integrated, tension-tested swivels rated to hold loads up to 500 pounds, ensuring secure attachment to standard sling studs.
• Quick-Adjust Buckle: Allows for rapid, one-handed length modifications while on the move, accommodating different carrying positions.
• Silent Performance: The soft-touch silicone backing dampens vibration and friction noise, minimizing the risk of spooking game in the bush.
• Padded Comfort: The lightweight, padded face distributes heavy rifle, shotgun, or crossbow loads evenly to eliminate pressure points during long walks.
