Web Sling Usage
Everyone seems to agree with Ray-Vin’s usage of the web sling as shown in “emmage17’s” entry. I always set the sling up so that when the sling was in the parade position, the short end of the sling and the keeper lock were on the side away from the rifle. This served three purposes:
1. It made it easier to return the sling to the ‘parade’ position for off hand.
2. It put the smooth side of the sling keeperagainst the forearm in the firing positions.
3. It made it easy to readjust the sling length while in the firing position-if necessary. All one had to do, was to pull down on the short (tab) end which would aid in unlocking the keeper. The sling length could then be readjusted using the short tail, and the keeper lock could be re-engaged without losing one’s position.
Just a thought.
