I don't reccomend using a sling. The stages are run too fast to effectively use a sling. I've shot some high-power and it's amazing what you can do with a sling to establish a natural point of aim and reduce your wobble zone to within the bull or scoring ring. But without a 2 min prep and having to change positions 3 times or more you're just not going to be able to use a sling to do this. It becomes a distraction that people end up dicking with on the clock. And a false sense of npoa(natural point of aim). Either your skeletal system is going to support the rifle or the sling is going to assist your skeletal system in supporting the rifle. More often than not I see folks trying to use their slings in some sort of half arm wrap and just muscling their rifle into position. False sense of support and they're still not supporting the rifle with bone.
There are two "cheater" positions that are superior for this type of action shooting sport. They make better use of bone support and are faster to get in and out of. As far as I know they are still legal for use in NRL22. I struggled for a year or so trying to use my knowledge with sling supported positions in PRS and NRL22. 99% of the folks who shoot these sports have zero clue how to effectively shoot from a sling supported position to include the MDs that shoehorn 3 positional shooting positions with 5 position changes into a 90 or 120 sec stage. So there's no sense in really trying to learn how to use a sling for this sport, IMO. I have been way more successful not using a sling on the NRL22 stages.
You need a skosh of flexibility to use these positions. The main idea is to use your support side knee to support the rifle and your firing side shoulder to anchor it's wobble. You don't rest the rifle on your kneecap, you use your support hand to clamp the forearm of the rifle to the top of your shin and that is 90% of the support to the rifle. The buttstock is not firmly seated against the shoulder pocket. Rather it is resting on the side of the arm. This is it's second anchor point on the body and this just reduces the wobble. You're support side foot is flat on the ground for both the kneeling and seated position. The difference in the two positions is your butt is on the ground for the seated position and you're sitting on your foot and you're knee is touching the ground for the kneeling position.
