There are not many around anymore but a shoe cobbler can sew the material for you for a couple bucks.
I love the Claw slings. I've put them on my deer rifle and muzzleloader. The muzzleloader is so muzzle heavy that it would keep wanting to tip back off my shoulder. The Claw sling holds on to my jacket preventing the slip. My only issue with them to date is trying to use the large nylon sling swivel with a Harris bipod. The screw head wants to hit one leg and snag it.
I have been a huge fan of the Slogan Ultraflex sling for many years. Mainly for the reason everyone here like the Claw. It will not slip. After reading all these posts I decided to try one of the Claw slings for my new Prohunter. Just picked one up this afternoon. I believe I will like it quite well. I have the polymer swivels on a couple slings and have had no issues as of yet.
