YMMV though

I am totally with you on the load thing and I think carrying a sling is a great idea if you know how to use one. I know it is possible to use even the old style ones with out the brace to good effect. I saw a you tube clip of an old southern boy who could use one to hit unbelievable targets. He grew up dirt poor and that is how he got food.
My first sling was also without the brace so that might account for some of my frustration. Latter on, one of my brothers got one with a brace but by that time I had given up on the darn things.
