I know using a sling looped around your bicep, such as in service rifle competition, is a great accuracy aid. Even using a hasty sling helps a lot. What I'm wondering is in actual combat, does anyone actually take the time to sling up? It almost seems to me that the time used to set your sling up would be better served finding a more stable rest for your rifle, like a wall, tree, etc. Either that, or finding cover. I'm especially interested in WWII/WWI combat, since that's what most people associate the GI sling with. Just curious.
