There are two reasons why I watched this video to the end, brought to you by The Algorithm: 1) I never knew there are so many ways to carry a rifle and get it to ready position. 2) You treat the firing cycle as fire then immediately run the bolt without getting it off the shoulder. In other words, running a bolt gun the way God intended. Too many people out there fumble with the bolt and/or the rifle. Granted, some guns need to be broken in or polished up before it's smooth enough to run it at speed (especially if you're gonna run the Walbridge technique, a.k.a the "middle finger" technique.)
I African carried most of my life before I knew what it was called. It's fast, your barrel clears the brush, and the muzzle is away from your head. I use thin leather slings.
Hi Steve, thanks for the great videos on scout sling setups and use! Was wondering if you could actually demonstrate the use of the scout slings while shooting prone (would like to gauge how practical & ergonomic it is). I'm wondering if it makes sense to just use a front sling attachment-mounted bipod for shooting prone, even on a rifle with a scout sling setup. Also do you suppose the bipod would interfere with the normal use of a scout sling as you've demonstrated here?
That's a great question. The sling works really well from prone and you can use a bipod. It is a little slower if you're using a rest of any kind but not as slow as a full loop sling. The only trick is to make sure the loop doesn't slide down your arm as you assume that position. I'll work on a video demonstrating this but in the meantime, here is a link to another one of my videos. I go from standing to prone pretty quickly but in this competition, I was not able to be slung up before taking the standing shot so it doesn't follow exactly with this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VqGisKMcSAw.html
Love the idea! But for me it’s not an option. It puts the shooter slung, tired to the gun, and getting out of the rifle takes the time I’ve saved not having to get in the sling. It’s a gunfighter thing…. Seeing you drop into sitting as fast as you do is impressive! Just add in looping into the sling as you drop down. Cheers
@@cliffy109 Roger that. It was just my two cents worth since you were looking for a name to give to your unique way of carrying the rifle. Thanks for the ID of your rifle and the link. I appreciate it.
