Re: Rifle Sling
My training was with the cotton Garand Sling. I have always been partial to it. My service rifle is a refinished/glassbedded Garand with a very nice tan version. My only accommodation is to put the sheet metal sling attachment hooks on both ends, for quicker removal and manipulation.
My physical limitations (an incomplete transverse fracture of the humerus just below the shoulder joint, and extensive tissue damage to the shoulder joint socket caused by a slip and fall on Winter ice) have prevented me from doing sling supported position shooting for the past 3 1/2 years, and I'm still doing workouts to try to re-extend my range of physical motion to permit resuming this activity. This is still not capable of prediction, but is beginning to look less and less likely.
Oh well, it's not as if I didn't get a good run for my money...
