Every gun, that gets used, needs a sling. "Form follows function".

Mike Wrongo. Sporting Clays with a sling on your shotgun? I don't think so... JR

Dove shooting doesn't require a sling. Drifting for ducks a sling would be a hazard. A truck gun certainly doesn't need one. I hunt a lot, and the ONLY time I want one is while I'm wading into a duck hole ..... and when I get there I pull it off immediately.

A sling is nice when toting a heavy Turkey gun around the woods...Geo

I see slings on target guns frequently.
Certainly I don't understand it, but I see it.

??? Of course, I've only shot target guns for about 55 years, but, in that time, I've not seen a sling on one.

No, you don't. Not on a clay target specific piece. You see people shooting clays with a camo'd hunting semi-auto sometimes on a benefit shoot, but you will NEVER see a serious clays shooter at a registered event with a sling on his Perazzi. Dang, SGJ, thought you would realize that. JR

I should have been more careful with sentence structure Bill.
'Guns used on targets' would be better, perhaps not 'target guns' but many are used for nothing but.
Clearly they were built as field guns with sling attach points, but around here it's not uncommon to see them on the skeet fields and SC courses.
One guy here shoots nothing but a short barrel M-500 complete with sling and 5 shell holder velcroed to the stock.
