It's not a great style of sling to carry the gun, but more than makes up for it in shooting.
No sticks, or bi-pods. Too much trouble and clunky to setup fast.
Travel light. Hunt like an Indian.
I also think sticks are to hard to set up fast, you make too much movement, the deer around here would spot you in a second.
I personally take shots only from a solid rest, a tree, off my knees ect. I do take off hand shots out to say 75yds, but anything further I want a solid rest so I know Im going to hit where Im aiming.
Im not bragging but the last 50 deer or more that I have taken have been solid lung or heart shots, the others have been in places that I was aiming for and not by accident.
Now if I lived out West where a-lot of you Hunt Muleys and have a-lot of Open Ground Im sure My Hunting Methods would change to fit the circumstances.
