Try switching to a sidearm or walking all anywhere for a long time with no sling. We go to some property my friend has out in the middle of no where and walk around all day looking for armadillos, possums, rabbits, etc. Im the only one who brings a rifle and Im also the only one with a sling. Everyone else brings just a pistol. I carry my AR, one extra mag, and my XD45 with two extra mags.
IMO a good sling is just as important as good optics.
I think I know what kind of sling you are talking about. My buddy has a Romanian WASR and his came with some ugly leather sling. It works, but its almost too short IMO.
EDIT: Not to mention shooting long distances from standing is easier with my 2 point sling. It has a strap I can pull to tighten it up, and I can pull it into my shoulder and make it much more steady.
