Description
The Edgar Sherman Design ESD Padded Sling takes the same quick-adjust two-point design as the standard ESD Sling and adds a 16.5 by 2 inch pad. The pad slides fore and aft so you can put it where the rifle actually rides on your shoulder.
The pad is built from multi-layer Cordura with 0.25 inch closed-cell EVA foam and a four-way stretch, abrasion-resistant face against the skin. Seams are hidden on top so nothing rubs. ESD builds in a carabiner loop, which it calls the Inchworm, for tripod shooting or a tether. The ends are open with tri-glides for QD swivels, HK hooks or paracord. Mounting hardware is not included. It is hand-made in the USA from Berry Amendment compliant materials.
The Ranger Green and Black version mixes green and black components so it matches a green carrier and a black rifle without looking mismatched.

Who it’s for
Tactical Games competitors and anyone slinging a 9 to 12 pound rifle for a long stage or a long walk.
Who should skip it
On a light carbine for 3-Gun, the pad is weight and bulk you will not use. The standard ESD Sling does the same job for about 40 dollars less. Like the standard version, it ships with no swivels.
