Re: rifle slings......?

some good replies! alot of us have military backgrounds/hunting backgrounds and have learned the way to shoot properly using a sling.proper use of a sling can and will stabilize you to shoot offhand.most people forget that and consider shouldering their rifle w/a sling as its only function.
