Duration: 8:50

This video provides a longevity review of the Haley Strategic D3 Sling, originally reviewed unfavorably in June 2017 due to concerns about thread loosening and comfort with heavier rifles. After extensive use in various classes and environments over 1.5+ years, the reviewer finds all initial concerns to be moot. The sling has held up well, showing no significant tearing or fraying, and performs its function effectively. The reviewer's only personal dislike is the QD-only attachment system, preferring a mash hook for faster detachment.

While functional, the reviewer personally prefers mash hook attachments over QD systems for faster detachment.
