Do you really need a sling? I only have one on my AK not my AR or 10/22. I have a sling on my Mosin 91/30 but I dont think they would appreciate me shooting that one.
Yes you need a sling if you want to learn how to build a solid position. Not using a sling will handicap you. Go pick up a cotton web sling for your AR. It is the best one to learn on.
Thanks Dan... I need to install swivels in my 10/22 for a sling also.
I appreciate the fact hat people are learning to shoot a rifle from position using only a sling for support. I think it is an important skill to know. I have taught many myself. However, I am still a bit unclear about the Appleseed program. Or possibly, I am trying to understand why people are so willing to pay $70 plus the cost of ammo to learn rifle shooting, but we have a harder time convincing them to come to a highpower clinic that costs $10 plus ammo. Is target shooting perceived to be that much harder? Is it more intimidating? Is the fact that Appleseed starts at 25 yards rather than 100 or 200 the deciding factor. As many of you already know, very good rifle training is offered almost monthly. I would like to know how those of you who are interested in one view the other.
If I am available that weekend, I may run over to Sherburn to check it out and see why it is so popular.

Make sure you get the 1.25" swivels if you want to use a web sling.
