Thanks for your input, that's good food for thought. I just wanted to say that since my access to hands-on coaching right now is minimal, and I have limited time to train for upcoming events, I've compromised with a semi-high (semi-low?) position that does not seem to have the same degree of forward...

Hi justadude, the sling is attached by a hook to the strap on my sleeve. Is that what you mean, or something like the "connector" for the mec sling?

sling tension during prone

I've recently adopted a lower position. Everything usually starts out great but after a while, I notice that I am losing tension in the sling. I find myself "squirming" in position after every shot trying to regain the correct height but it is very difficult. I feel like a windmill! Today ...

I'm having some trouble visualizing the drag bag inside the pelicase. It could work but would that require removing that expensive foam inside the case? cutting out the rifles in the foam helps keep them nice and snug.
