All three point tactical slings can be worn with two basic carries. The Tactical Carry holds the weapon on the front of your body. It allows faster access and keeps the weapon off your strong side in the event you have to transition to a handgun. The Patrol Carry holds the weapon on your strong side at waist level. It allows you to easily transition the weapon to a barrel down carry on your back and still bring the weapon into firing postion quickly. If you wear a sidearm with the sling, use the Tactical Carry. If you do not wear a sidearm, either way works well. It's personal preference.
