Put a sheet of newspaper on a table. Remove the magazine cartridge from the pellet gun. Cock the pellet gun. Fire the pellet gun in a toilet to ensure that there is no ammunition in the firing chamber.

Double over the length of paracord. Hold the looped end of the paracord between the thumb and forefinger of one hand.

Make a slipknot in the paracord using the other hand so that a loop protrudes out of the right side of the loop in the paracord with the two free ends at the left side. Pull the loop on the right side to tighten the slipknot.

Reach through the slipknot with the fingers of one hand. Grab hold of the two free ends of the paracord. Pull your hand out of the slipknot to pull the two free ends through.

Place the pellet gun on the newspaper with the barrel facing to the left. Slip the loop of the slipknot over the front of the pellet gun’s barrel. Move the loop until it reaches the trigger guard of the pellet gun.

Pick up the pellet gun. Wrap the ends of the paracord around your shoulder. Tie a knot in the ends of the paracord. Release the pellet gun now that it has a single point gun sling to hold it for you.
