forgive me if i sound completely clueless but could someone explain the difference between a "military sling" and a normal (for lack of a better word) sling? I just got my first rifle, which will mainly be used for hunting. I always assumed that a sling was just a strap that you use to carry a rifle over your shoulder, but after looking around on this site, I've gathered that they can also have a significant effect on accuracy
. Is this something that would make a difference while hunting, or does it only matter for people entering competitions? I ask because outdoorworld's website (closest place with a reasonable inventory of gun accessories) lists about a dozen "normal" slings and one leather military sling that are all about the same price. Is there a reason to buy the military sling, or should I just go with a nylon sling? thanks
