Frequently asked questions

1. How do I use SGS with a backpack?
SGS can be used with a backpack. It usually needs more careful adjustment than when used without one. In our experience, it works best with the quick-release buckle positioned as low as possible, so that SGS acts like a waist belt.

2. How do I adjust SGS?
Try positioning the quick-release buckle low down on the shoulder strap so that SGS acts more like a waist belt. This transfers the weight of the gun from your shoulder to your hips. With the right adjustment, up to 90% of the gun’s weight can be transferred to your hips.

3. Which size should I choose?
You can use a piece of cord to estimate the length of SGS you need. Attach it where SGS would sit and use it to check the required length.

Some customers find that SGS initially feels too short. This is often because the gun is hanging by their side rather than resting on their back, or because it is at a steep angle on the back.

When putting the gun on with SGS, try pulling it further across your back than its final carrying position. After clicking the buckle closed, let the gun settle back into place.

See the size guide image for measurements.

4. Does SGS work for both left- and right-handed shooters?
Yes. SGS is designed for both left- and right-handed shooters and works equally well for either.

5. Can SGS be used with break-action firearms, such as shotguns, combination guns and drillings?
Yes. In our tests, SGS has worked just as well with break-action firearms as with repeating rifles. We have not been able to test every firearm design, so please check one thing in particular: whether the SGS cord rests against the safety catch or barrel selector.

6. Does SGS fit all gun belts and rifles?
Yes, they fit. We are confident that you will be satisfied.

7. Does SGS fit my R8 with a thumbhole stock?
See the answer to question 6.

You can fit the SGS cord around the section of the stock above the thumbhole. If the stock has a cheek riser, you can route the cord around that instead.
