Members dirkba Posted June 27, 2017 Members Report Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) I have made one (using webbing belt) similar to the army slings, but it is used with your arm going through the loop and set to assist you in shooting while standing. Your stability is achieved from the sling forming a tri angle with the rifle and your forearm pushing against the front stock. Check out "accu sling" for more options!

Members Matt S Posted July 17, 2017 Members Report Posted July 17, 2017 What a lot of more casual rifle shooters may not appreciate is that the M1907 design is more than an adjustable strap from butt to forend. It is designed to be unhooked and quickly converted into a target-style single-point sling with an adjustable cuff for the upper arm. Properly setup this allows for a very stable position, especially prone. Utility in the field for war or hunting is questionable but it makes a bloody fine one for range use. This 1940s instructional film gives you the idea: Quote
