Nemesis Lead Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 In a recent match, there were lots of shooting positions that required standing and shooting unsupported at small distant targets. There was no way to get kneeling or prone and nothing to brace your rifle on. I have decided to experiment with a Ching Sling in such situations. My only question is around technique. Internet videos vary greatly on how the sling attaches to the rifle and whether or not the support hand goes in front of or behind the forward swivel stud. I know that the sling itself should be high on the back of the support-side arm, but what is the proper position of the support hand relative to the front sling / swivel stud? What is the optimal place to put your swivel studs on your AR's forearm? I may be making a mountain out of a molehill, but I prefer to do things correctly. Does anyone know correct set up and technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Thats what I would do. I only know of 3 guys who use a ching sling in competition, and one of those very rarely. Of the other two, Kurt Miller is one of them. There are a couple of good tricks to set up and use. I'd get hold of Kurt There are several real good pictures out there of an AR set up right. I know they have been posted here on ENOS. Might search under iron sight rifles and Kurt Miller. I know Zak Smith over on demigod has one of those pictures on his history of 3-gun rifles.

Nemesis Lead Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Kurt--is your support hand behind the sling or does the sling wrap behind your support hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Just cause you are girly enough to name a Buckskin "Silver" don't project your slightly effeminate ways onto others. BTW my P.R.C.A card was issued in the 1000 number range, around the time you were wearing plastic chaps and twin cap pistols.

kurtm Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) My support hand is holding a beer at the moment, not near a sling. Take this to a P.M as it will bore Tigerman and next thing you know he will want to name his pet LLama "Trigger".

kurtm Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 That IS NOT a Ching Sling. I guarantee it. That is a SAFARI sling and no llamas need apply, maybe a Giraffe or two, but no llamas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterpuc Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I use a Blue Force Gear sling that I can tighten quickly. I think Vickers Tactical makes one too. Looking at the Ching Sling, it looks like it would need 2 attachment points on the rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
