I stand corrected.....it appeared to me that a couple were on backwards.....I have seen shooting many people buy a 1907 and know how tomrig it, they just toss it on , wrong and/or missing a part of it.......Which one is backwards? I'm pretty sure the Garand is correct, I did a good deal of research before installing that one. Maybe my source was wrong, though. I know the Enfield is correct. The krag sling isn't a 1907 sling, it's the older Krag sling which to my reading was not designed to be used as a shooting aid. It was no fun to put on, I can tell you that. The Swede...who knows about that crazy thing, it could well be backwards. I found one set of instructions on some obscure forum on how to install it.
As to sling shooting, I've not done any with the national match style sling, just 2 or 3 point hasty slings on the AR. Most of our training is dynamic and there's not time to get strapped in and out of a competition style sling. I do quite a bit of unsupported shooting that way, and recently even set up a .22 with irons so I can get more practice in. This day was just about having fun with my kid playing with old rifles, not serious marksmanship training.
I have had the opportunity to have a few conversations with some guys at the club about their competition sling setups, have watched some videos, and even bought Jim Owens's book, but I think it's going to take some hands on instruction and some serious practice for me to master
First time I went to rig my 1907 I was beyond baffled.........
A day of fun with the kids, I can understand that!!
