There's plenty of manufacturers selling everyone else's designs with substandard quality and a lot of fancy advertising. We don't work that way.. With a long LE background, decades in this business and being full cave certified divers, quality and function are everything to us. It's life dependent and our patented designs are always advancing as the environment changes. When you consider our slings against others no one builds them better for the price you pay that are truly American made. We work with LE, Mil and trainers testing and evaluating for years before presenting our builds to the public. Always tweaking for the better and listening to our customers. We are in-house designers with our own sewing shop & local help. If there's an issue or a needed change we are minutes to fix versus others mass produced warehouse stock that can sit for years in boxes that vendors are trying to unload as fast as possible. A sling from us purchased several years ago will be slightly different than a new one because of this. The ends of every cut are even softened by hand to prevent sharp edges because machine cutters leave potential issues. We pride on how much you get for your money when comparing equally. Prices on our 2 point slings range from $34.95 with American made name brand quality hardware ends and up depending on all the extra features you want out of a sling that's made better and more durable. Our customers get the original, highest quality slings for their money, not cheap mass produced knockoffs flooding the markets for not much less with similar options.
Brian started sewing after snagging his mother's Singer in high school to make his own gear. He then bought a 50's industrial sewing machine to hold up to the heavy duty threads and nylon materials for the slings and took over a bedroom. The Company grew from there with his wife taking over while he worked full time in L.E. and a second business.
He has had 30 something years in Law Enforcement, currently retired he still holds numerous training weapon certifications including rescue rappelling, Underwater Dive Rescue Int. specialist, Full cave and mix gas certified etc. The list goes on. At a time when there was not a lot to work with in regard to specialty equipment in hunting, diving, weapon slings, harnesses, etc. he began building his own gear. Over the years it became a business to supply the products that he had made for himself to others who requested one & grew from there. Our website offers the most popular of the patented designs. US Patents: #9,915,499 #9,557,138 #7.989.218 They are also available through 2 Licensed companies, including Raine Inc. for Military sales, and are currently in contracts being used by the Marines at this time.

Tactical gear should be designed and fabricated by actual users. Here at Savvy Sniper Slings our gear is continuously tested and feedback given by numerous users including LE & Military. Most slings can be purchased through dealers as well as special needs or custom work can be ordered through our shop directly. We make the slings in our shop located in Tuscarawas County, Ohio with help from other local families including moms with their kids by their side in their own sewing rooms and the local Old order Amish community in shops in Guernsey and Tuscarawas County. Many slings and parts are moved around locally by horse and buggy.
We all are as old school as it gets & take our time to build them right. All of our energy is in making the best designs for specific needs with help from our local families. We never stop improving, modifying, review quality control, problem solve and working with the best sewers. We are also lucky enough to have an awesome design engineer kid of our own who grew up understanding the craft, on hand, for creating and patenting new parts. This ensures the slings are the best designs and functions available today. When orders get backed up, everyone grabs a sewing machine and starts sewing.
This is very much a family business that built our shop from the ground up the long hard way. We appreciate good values and close knit relationships with our dealers and customers.
Thanks, the Alford family
