Shooting Prone with a sling, a fading art

[independentrider1]

I originally learned to shoot the three positions (prone, Standing and Kneeling) plus sitting while shooting on my high school rifle team. This is the same time and place I learned to use a sling properly. Two years ago I shot my first appleseed. (http://www.appleseedinfo.org) Which once again I found myself using a sling. I have a leather cuff sling that I prefer but the thing about appleseed is they teach you to properly use any kind, be it Hasty or cuff style. If you are looking to learn to use a sling I cannot recommend a appleseed course enough. I am not a appleseed spokesman or anything I just like to see people utilize a great tool that is out there.
