The sling is used to create isometric pressure to increase steadiness. While the use of a sling is of questionable value when shooting from the standing position, it is very much worth using from kneeling, sitting or prone. It was also used in back position in which case the sling is looped around the foot and it is this that takes the recoil.<ref name="auto1"/> Proper use of the sling locks the rifle into the body and enhances that solid foundation so critical to delivering an accurate shot. 
;;Hasty sling
A type of shooting sling. All positions are strengthened through the use of a ''hasty sling''. The formal ''tight sling'' is detached from the rear sling swivel and tightened above the bicep of the supporting arm. Almost any carrying strap can be used in the ''hasty sling'' mode. There is often a compromise between the most comfortable "carry" length for shooter's sling and the ideal tension for a ''hasty sling''. The steadiness achieved is almost as good as a ''tight competition sling'' and it is a lot faster.<ref name="petersenshunting.com"/><ref name="americanrifleman.org">{{Cite web|last=Wilson|first=Jim|date=2016-03-24|title=Getting the Most Out of Field Shooting Positions|url=https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2016/3/24/getting-the-most-out-of-field-shooting-positions/|access-date=2021-05-26|website=americanrifleman.org}}</ref>
