Shooting Sling on a SIG 556 Classic?

[MaverickNH]

So I have a SIG556 Classic with a front sling attachment mounted on the left side of the gas-block. I'm thinking of bringing it to an Appleseed and letting my daughter use my SIG 522 along side for a day. Both with rear diopter sights and red-dots.

Is using a shooting sling possible with the side-attachment points? It would seem the tension would just cant the rifle.

As much as those Swiss like to shoot, it would seem something should work OK...

Not ideal, but much better than no sling.

Canting the rifle is essential to building a solid, repeatable prone and sitting position.

Cant the rifle in towards you in prone and away from you in sitting.
