I'm curious if people here use slings on their rifles when they shoot BP events and/or if it's allowed where they typically shoot?
Rifle slings were certainly in use during the American Revolutionary War -- at least to shoulder muskets. While using a loop sling might not have come about for some time, I cannot help but think some original musketeers used their rifle's slings in a "hasty" manner.
Also do any of you wear a glove/mitt on your forehand in conjunction with a sling when shooting BP events? Thanks.
