Abstract

A gun barrel control target sling is applied to firearms, such as rifles, pistols, shotguns, bb guns, crossbows, and other hand held firing devices, such as rocket launchers, bazookas, etc. The target sling includes a flexible adjustable strap which extends obliquely downward from a forward part of a gun barrel in the vicinity of where the barrel is held by the non-trigger activating hand down to the forearm of the same arm of the shooter, to provide a counteracting force upon the repulsive explosive upward force of the gun when shot. This sling strap generally is a linearly extending strap approximately 1/2 inch by 24 inches, preferably having adjustable members, such as a series of corresponding slots into which fasteners can be placed to maximize a taunt fit between the gun and the forearm of the user. The downward oblique tension of the sling strap provides a counteracting force to upward movement of the gun. The longitudinally extending sling member is a flexible material such as leather or woven plastic and includes a swivel end portion engagable with another portion adjacent to the barrel of the gun. The target sling reduces or eliminates the undesirable upward movement of the barrel of the gun, such that when the gun is gripped and fired the sling provides a force directed downwards away from the muzzle of the gun, wherein the barrel does not significantly move from the aimed position prior to firing. The forearm is placed in the loop of the slings at the distal end of the sling.
