I use a shortened sling and greek style for range less than 25 yards, longer setup and fig 8 for distance.

At the moment I use a standard figure-8 for short range accuracy and an modified figure-8 for long range. When I was slinging as a kid 15 years ago I used a helicopter/sidearm style for pretty much everything, with some underarm.
