The sling is a substitute for the muscle that connects your upper arm to your lower arm so that muscle does not have to be under tension. You hand should not be grasping the forestock of the rifle rather your hand is the pillow that the rifle shoots off of. Body geometry and flexibility may dictate the exact position of kneeling/sitting or some modified hybrid that you will find comfortable and steady ( steady is relative). But in this position the object is to get a knee bone to elbow bone structural brace that supports the gun rather than use any muscle. Another good one that you might try is the reclined position where you recline with your back against a rock or tree and use your knee as a rest for the forestock (you will need your hand between the gun and the knee to keep it from falling off. The heavier the recoil of the gun the more you have to use muscle power to control the recoil so adjust appropriately. [/QUOTE]
