Name of gun sling?

[hoochfisher]

Ok folks, what the heck is the actual name for a rifle sling that attaches to the rifle at 1 point, and to the upper arm at the other point? Often used in completion shooting(4h, cmp).

I know of only 3 examples I can purchase but I'm looking to see what other options exist, and for the life of me I can't find the actual name for them.

Searching single point sling gives nothing but single point AR slings. I saw someone call them "loop slings", but searching that only comes up slings that attach with no swivel points.

show a picture of what you are talking about.. sounds maybe like a "wolf hook" but it could be anything right down tot a spare tire....

Big loop on left side attaches to amd tighens around upper arm, right side is the single swivel attachment to the gun. This one pictured is the one "upgrade" sling I can find, the only other I know of is cheap stiff nylon from Daisy air guns.

I know those 2 options cant possibly be the only 2 in the whole world, I just don't know the actual name of this style to narrow down searching them.

Done. That's the first I heard of "wolf hook". Searched as well. That's basically everything that comes up when searching "loop slings" as I mentioned above.

Most people who shoot CMP use a “1907 Style” sling that’s usually made out of real leather. Try searching for CMP shooting supplies, one of the higher quality sling manufacturers is Turner Saddlery https://turnersaddlery.com/ts/product-category/turner-national-match-service-rifle-slings/
Also check out YouTube there are several videos on how to use setup and use this style sling.
