My father taught me how to use a sling like that, when I was a kid. It really steadies the rifle for ya.

I really don't think that will do much to redirect recoil. Properly used, it will assure that the butt is firmly against the shoulder.

I made up a sling for my turkey shotgun that, when unfastened from the rear swivel and hooked over my boot toe would help control both recoil and muzzle rise(both are significant with 2 ounces of shot and 20" barrel). Worked OK as long as the turkey came in straight on.

Used a sling like that for years shooting High Power Rifle Competition.

Yep, pretty standard use of a GI sling for rifle shooting.

I learned to use a sling like that way way back when I was shooting a Daisy Model 99 to practice for shooting in Jr Rifle. Used the sling there, too.

Yes sir, gunny, they do.

200 yds, 300 yds, and 500 yds open sights.

Learned that from my Mom when I was in the Boy Scouts going for my shooting merit badge. Her Stevens 44 1/2 target was a bear to hold steady standing.
