The Shooting Line at a Match at Seagirt, N.J. in 1904.

The two competitors in foreground have their Krag slings fastened to 'stacking-swivel' and just threaded through barrel-band swivel.

This is an excellent example of how even before the advent of the 1907 sling, they were using the sling (which IIRC was intended solely for carry purposes) for position shooting!
