My understanding is that the use of a sling to stabilize ones position in the offhand position is not allowed in either NRA High Power or CMP Shooting. In contrast the Appleseed program instructs students to use the sling while standing.
I’ve read that the use of the sling while standing is of little benefit. If true why isn’t it allowed in CMP or High Power shooting? Is this simply for the sake of uniformity or does it indeed provide some advantage?
I’m curious as I have recently started shooting in some local Vintage Military Rifle Matches where the use of the sling in the standing position is common, which I find unusual.
What is the consensus (assuming there is one) on the use of the sling while standing.
