I love the retracting sling on my nice, light 16 sxs Manufrance Ideal. The first time I used it was after a long session of chasing roosters in Kansas. Even though light (5lb 14), it was still preferable to shoulder the load for a while. Heading back to the truck, I waited to employ the sling til I got to a half-acre of freshly turned black earth, with nary a stitch or stalk for a rooster to hide. Half-way through the field with my slung Ideal, a big rooster got up.

I still like the sling.
