Except that game shows up at close range, even if one is planning for long range, regardless of what round is used. There are plenty of times when a rest is not available (such as out on the prairie), but a sling is always attached, ready for action. Unfortunately, many folks these days don't use or don't know how to use a sling.
Agreed...if game is within 300-400 yards it should be dead meat for a guy properly wrapped up in a shooting sling.
I killed a buck on a power line a couple years ago at 330 yards from a random stand,and ground cover prevented getting lower,so had to shoot from the sit,wrapped in....If not for the sling I could never have done it
