Of course I don't speak for everyone and I am certainly not upset that others may not care for using a sling. All I said was that some said there was no value at all for a sling at a gun range or in a competition. For many people that just isn't true. Whether some choose to use a sling in any fashion is their choice of course but it is common knowledge they can improve your accuracy when firing off hand. For example there are competitions at Camp Perry where pretty much everyone uses a sling. They really do steady your hold quite a bit.
