Using this shotgun scabbard is a breeze. First, adjust the nylon sling to your preferred length. Then, you can either attach the scabbard to your pack or sling it over your back. If you want to switch it to the other side for left - handed use, simply use the double universal straps. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or sharp objects. If you notice any damage to the padding or the straps, replace them right away to ensure your shotgun's safety.
