To me, the sling's primary job is to hold the weapon so I don't have to. Yeah, it can help stabilize your position, but it's there to bear a load in the first place.....at least to me. Anyway, not knocking it, just asking since maybe I'm missing a better way. Seems to me for specific things (like that drill in the video) that works. Sweeping the weapon down & away & transitioning to pistol? Flipping the rifle over my back? Or ....just going thru the chow line :) seems like often you'd prefer a shoulder thru the sling no?
