Yes, It works fine.

You are probably not looping it right.  Trying to explain it in words 
would take more time than I have right now.  If you go to a high power
match ask one of the competitors for help.  That's how I learned.  If 
you can't get help that way send a self addressed stamped envelope to 
me and I will mail you a drawing of how I do it.

If the sling is still too short and you are sure you are looping it
correctly then call Accuracy International in Bozeman, Montana 
(406) 587-7922.  They carry the Creedmore sling which I understand is 
longer than standard.
