Rhodes Outdoor Equipment

Sling Hook

The Sling Hook wraps onto your pack's shoulder strap and holds your rifle sling in place, so you can stop hitching it back up every few steps.

From a small outdoor gear company in Victoria, BC. On the shelf at outdoor shops on Vancouver Island.

  • No tools or permanent modifications required
  • No more worrying about a dropped rifle or a smashed scope
  • Durable nylon construction

Another way to run it

Not just for backpacks.

The Sling Hook wraps onto the shoulder strap of your binocular harness just as easily as a pack strap. Hook your rifle sling under it and it stays on your shoulder.

Rhodes Outdoor Equipment is a small gear company in Victoria, BC, started by Tyler Rhodes. After one too many hikes spent hitching his rifle sling back onto his shoulder, Tyler went looking for a fix. Local shops didn't carry one. Online, the options were either pricey US imports or poorly made versions that didn't look like they'd last.

So he made his own and took it on a hunt. The difference it made was so big that he knew other hunters would want one too. That prototype became the Sling Hook.
