About us
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.

Our help
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
