Nate, like most modern communications there is a lot of words but not much information in this presentation. I’ll defer to the 6.5 Guys if they read this to comment on what they really expect accuracy wise from sling use but the ergonomics of tactical rifles owes more to target rifle than most seem to give it credit for.

Richard it is a decent review of the slings presented.

That being said, if you are looking to this video to entirely learn how to use a sling to shoot well with a rifle, it’s not here. Then again, they didn’t claim it was.

If a person wants to learn how to hold 1/2 minute with a sling, they better be talking to a dedicated sling shooter.

Same as anything else.

Ignore the first 17 mins! of words and skip ahead to the field demonstration. There you will see why these slings are fundamentally flawed as methods to hold your rifle steady in various positions. The line of the sling in front of the hand in not linear; therefore any movement during breaking the shot will pull the shot off target.

If gone to a full bore sling on my AI to pull the stock into position and to get the bone support (over muscle support that these sling connections are tending towards) required for successful practical shooting.
