              Vero Vellini Air Cushion

                         Gun Sling


    The Vero Vellini air cushion gun sling has what wild turkey hunters want -- a cushioned, comfortable fit for all-day hunts, fully adjustable strap, and the latest patterns in camouflage.

        Shown here is model V19039 Wide-Top in Advantage Timber camouflage (cost is about $45), which comes equipped with two Uncle Mike’s QD Super Swivels, so the sling can be easily attached/detached from the firearm’s swivel studs. The swivels are permanently sewn to the sling so they can’t be lost.

    One major advantage of detachable swivels to the turkey hunter is that the sling can be removed quickly when setting up for a shot.

    The flexible, neoprene sling is designed to absorb shock, is slip proof, and UV light resistant so colors won’t fade.

    Vero Vellini slings are the products of the highest level of quality in workmanship and materials.
