I think it is either way too looose or too tight to shoulder. Aka 0 advantages.
If that's you in the avatar though maybe you don't need my advice. Maybe it would be useful if you need to really tie it down like airborn shit. For shooting i see 0 advantage . |

People use both. I prefer attachments as far apart as practical. Really helps when its slung tight to control it.
Attaching at the back of the reciever is supposed to help when switching sides. |

I hunt at night and it can help keep the muzzle/suppressor from bumping stuff since you can hitch it up so the butt is higher than your shoulder. Since I do it at night, and at night your gear has to be really familiar to avoid fumbling, I do it on all my ARs all the time. ETA, as pointed out in earlier posts, it’s not as secure for jogging or running as an attachment point on the butt. Also, the front attachment point needs to be as far out on the hand guard as possible. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah but that is not a shooting sling position. That's more for keeping the rifle high and tight. To shoot you would need to loosen way up. Nothing wrong with that...just saying I dont see it as a shooting use. Loose enough to use a bipod or tripod sling as well or to use a hasty sling wrap. If you look at my avatar I have the rifle slung as described. Clearly, it isn’t too tight to shoot. I’m a lefty, btw. |

I like mine at the rear of the buttstock. No matter what, you're gonna need to loosen the sling if you use it right (most people don't. No, I'm not calling anyone out on here, I'm speaking from experience). That's why it's intended to be easily adjustable. Larry Vickers has a video (on YouTube, I believe) in which he explains how to manipulate the slings as designed. Of course, you're not bound to that; but it'll give you a good starting point.

All the way to the rear allows you to switch shooting shoulders without having to do anything wonky with the sling.
Otherwise, it doesn't really matter |
