The first picture shows the rifle sling in the ordinary carrying position. Note that the sling is rather loose. Web or leather optional. Insert the left upper arm completely through the sling near the butt sling swivel as shown. The left forearm is inserted over the sling between the stock and sling and then wrapped back under the sling to permit hand to grasp the stock near the front sling swivel The picture below shows sling in position in a manner that permits 90 percent of the rifle weight to be held up with the support of the upper left arm and the contact of the butt plate against the right shoulder. The picture below shows the sling and shooter in the stable shooting position. Keep in mind that the trigger finger hand and arm is only holding approximately 10 percent of the weight. This permits good trigger action without the interference of stress. I hope this helps someone because it has been a mell of a hess offering this to members. LOL **Note** Position of the forward hand may need to be adjusted on forestock (closer to, or further from forward sling swivel) related to arm length variation(s).

well done Ozark. that is how i was taught. one note too is that if you hunt in weather with temp changes to where you may need to go from light layers to heavy layers you may need to adjust length of the sling to fint around comfortably.IMO is should not be much though. I have found i had to do this from spring and summer shooting to when i was hunting.
