Anyone here use a sling in the field hunting..?? I like the "Hasty" sling method as it works for all 4 shooting positions...standing,kneeling,sitting and prone. I tried sniper sticks but like the Hasty sling method better...

Gamo sling from PA..it has worked out great..loops go to stock & barrel...

I use them too, love `em.

I find it much quicker using the Hasty sling while flushing out rabbits rather than fiddling with the sniper sticks...most shots I've taken recently have been from the kneeling/sitting positions...standing is ok,but good idea to lean against a big rock/tree...

It seems to me the sling would put enough stress on the barrel to cause a POI problem.

I tested that already...I had zeroed my 850 at 20 yards originally from a bench rest so I went out and shot groups from all 4 positions using the sling..there were no fliers and groups were just slightly over the bench method but within 3/4"..also,I'm not exerting that much pressure...just snug to shoulder with left hand open between sling/forestock..

I think there would be a bigger issue using sling swivels as pressure downward on the 850 main stock could cause issues IMO...

Are you refering to barrel harmonics....??
