Ryan Cleckner, a former Special Operations sniper and author of 'The Long-Range Shooting Handbook,' shares a practical tip for reducing noise from rifle sling swivels in the field. By using the outer sheath of gutted parachute cord (550 cord) to secure the sling to the swivels, hunters and shooters can minimize distracting rattles, enhancing their ability to remain undetected or stable during critical moments. This technique prioritizes a permanently attached sling for consistent stability.

This video provides a DIY guide for building a lightweight and packable jerk cord system for duck hunting motion decoys.
