I prefer a 2 point, sling it over my neck and off side shoulder, keeps the gun across my chest where it needs to be to shoulder the gun. Setting up for yotes it's not going to be as important because you won't be on the move, but it does allow you to wrap the sling around your arm to "lock" the gun into your shoulder.

thanks redman, that's kind of how i was thinking. i do like a single point, but you give up a little muzzle control that way.

I like a sling that can change from one point to two point. magpul asap for the one point and a attachment point on the left side a little forward of the magwell for the second attachment point. Right handed.
