[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 660194, member: 30902"] I generally try to use the sling over my left arm in the field for just a little additional stability. If I'm unable to really get a good set up I use the sling for downward traction on the fore grip by looping it over my arm and just resting the rifle then in the palm of my left hand. Sometimes in the field you just gotta make due with what mother nature provides so it can take some creativity. I also use the same method if I have to shoot from a standing or kneeling position. This really helps increase stability for me. With the injuries to my left arm and shoulder I have to do all I can for a little extra stability. Using a short piece of rope doubled over and knotted, looped around a tree or fence post makes for a very good stable shooting stick as well. Just slip the rifle through the loop so that the stock is cradled in it so as to keep from putting any pressure against the barrel. Like the Sgt. Major said, never go into the field without at least 12' of good rope. [/QUOTE]
