Sling-Shot

[Baltipal]

Forgive my ignorance lads, but I've come across a thread on the American AGF talking of the use of slings in their International Class FT for other than carrying the rifle.
Are there specific rules that prohibit this practice? I know I use to wrap the sling round my left arm when taking standers with my TX, but they seem to have taken it to a new level;

Note that I'm not talking about the harness but the sling that appears to be attached at one point only, so must only be of use as a shooting aid rather than a method of carrying.

Many Thanks

Look at that sidewheel, I feel my washing machine pulley wheel is inspiring others!!

AFAIK they are now banned under the WFTF rules.

That's why I'm posting this really, these fellas are looking at the rules & aren't seeing any specific ones prohibiting the use of a sling in this way but I don't see them being used over here. Is it just a case of not being against the rules but considered bad form & against the spirit of the thing.
