[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2221092, member: 115285"] Your idea is similar to a trick I learned from a Marine Scout Sniper. Take a 1" tubular nylon strap 30" to 36" long, make a loop bringing the two ends together, and tie a knot leaving a loop long enough to suit. The length can be changed by knot placement. Insert the tip of the loop into your forward sling swivel and pull the loop through till the knot stops on the swivel. Here are pictures showing this. One shows the knotted loop, the others show the same nylon strap with a plastic slide on it for adjustment i came up with. This loop strap can be very effective for holding your rifle when along side an object like a post or doorway. Looped around your wrist, a cross your palm and back over the web of your hand. Place your hand on the post and let the rifle hang, supported by the strap close to your wrist. This can be a very stable alternate shooting position. Pulling tension to to the rear while shooting from a bipod as you are describing can be very helpful in controlling muzzle movement, much like loading the bipod does when applying forward tension. Good idea, great piece of kit to carry in the field! [ATTACH]280084[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280085[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280086[/ATTACH][ATTACH]280087[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
