I think most people will acknowledge that for most applications a two point sling is the optimum sling for the AR/M4 FOW. It definitely took me a while to get away from single point slings and for certain things I still like the ease of a single point but the cons, for me, of a single point outweigh the pros.
Now, for two point slings there are various setups, I have attached photos of the four most common but I also see variations of attachment to the buttstock.
What do you use and why?
I have most of my guns setup with the sling attached just to the front and rear of the receiver. This allows me to reload, and clear malfunctions easier in my opinion BUT I am trying out other setups because this is probably the least stable way to setup a sling for stowing the gun on your back to use both hands such as when treating a patient, etc and I think there are other limitations to this position but I don't know what I don't know and I am open to other setups.
ETA: Sorry for the shitty cell phone photos but they do communicate the different setups.
