What's the proper way to wear a 3-point sling?

It's attached at the end of the forend and at the buttstock.

Blueforce Soc-C Sling, pushbutton adapters.

Is it over your left shoulder, under your right arm? Or over your shoulder arm, under your left arm?

Thanks,

Brad.
 
sling it so the rifle drops on your weak side, for me that over the right under the left, my pistol is on the right side, nothing worse than hanging your rifle over your pistol...
 
Well, if I sling it so that it's over my right shoulder and under my left arm (I'm right handed), it drops sort of straight down the center. If I have it opposite that, it hangs sort of low and diagonaly across me, and makes it quite difficult to access a holstered pistol.

I guess I'm going over right under left. :wink:
 
:idea: The idea is that when you transition to your sidearm, you move the rifle down to your side with your weak hand. The strong hand draws and the two hands meet in the middle and adopt a firing stance. It kind of looks you are throwing the weapon down and drawing the handgun at the same time. With practice you can become very quick. If you are inside of 10 metres or so, transition to secondary and neutralize the threat. Outside that range, reload your primary and engage until the threat is no longer a threat.
YMMV,
Hoddie.
 
For a right handed shooter, it's slung over the right shoulder and under the left arm. Just try it out both ways and you will quickly see why it must be slung this way.
Slinging it "machine gun" style over the left shoulder means you need so much slack in the sling in order to bring it up to your right shoulder it that it becomes a big floppy mess, and you can't access a side arm.
Even if you don't have a side arm, slung over the strong side shoulder is the way to go, as it hangs much more securely if you need to use your hands for something else.
