Slings on Doughboy Rifles

[Doc Holloman]

The longstanding rule says slings are not allowed on Main Match rifles.    However as Doughboy was not a Main Match before this year, it was a reasonable interpretation that issue slings were allowed on the BAMM-style rifles in the Doughboy side match (as well as in the BAMM match).  Now that Doughboy is a main match category, was the intent that issue slings are no longer allowed?

Hi Doc Holloman: 

The latest version of the WBAS SHB, Version 17.3 was posted today. In it, we've added an exclusion for the Doughboy category to the "no slings allowed" rule. Slings are allowed for the Doughboy category. 

Many thanks,
