RE: Has anyone used the Sling Stix sling?
The sling stix aren't bad. I have one. It takes some getting used to. I've found that you have to slide the stixs cover back up because the back of the cover has a rubberized coating that helps hold it in place on the stock. I got these as a gift and I am still debating on using them. As for recommending them - I would have to say no. A bi-pod is easier to use even though they are a bit heavier. And the bi-pod 'sticks' are more ridig than the ones on the sling stix which have a tendency to flex under the rifle's weight - especially from a front heavy muzzleloader.
