I also use a Frankenstud Sling Keeper on my packs to keep my rifle from slipping off my shoulder, no matter what sling I'm using.
Pathfinder--Am familiar with the Grovetech (and other similar slings) but prefer the narrower Butler Creek. That said, Eileen prefers the Grovtech-type slings because they don't put as much pressure on her thinner shoulders. (But she also uses the Frankenstud.)
Also have a few sling purchased in Europe when hunting over there that work similarly to the Butler Creek, and others which provide more "friction." Europe was ahead of the U.S. in many ways, perhaps because the hunting in many countries over there is in steep country. The slings I have were made in Norway (a synthetic model) and Spain, a leather sling with a nubbly rubber area in the section that goes over your shoulder.
