We explain the four core requirements of a sling, including maintaining safe muzzle direction, providing stability for improved accuracy, allowing full range of movement, and enabling quick removal in emergency situations. We walk through proper sling mounting positions and why wider attachment points improve control and reduce unnecessary movement, then demonstrate how to wear and adjust the sling correctly. From there, we break down common rifle handling positions, including ready positions like on-target, low ready, high ready, and retention, as well as carry positions and hands-free sling positions for different scenarios. We also discuss how the retention position can reduce fatigue during extended use and how a sling can be used to stabilize the rifle for more accurate shooting. Finally, we briefly cover methods for stowing excess sling material to keep the rifle streamlined.
