I have always looped mine around my middle finger. it's just the most comfortable.

I've tried it on each finger and in every possible configuration. I've found nothing more comfortable and natural feeling than using my ring finger. I tried Eoraptor's method after the last time we discussed this. I couldn't get a tight enough grip on the release cord that way and kept releasing early.

Some times ring
, sometimes small
, sometimes both
depends on the sling and the phase of the moon .... some have no loop and I wrap the palm ... and on ... and on ... and (Oh never mind!)
.. in all cases I use a narrow grip , retention cord in the palm of my hand with the retention cord and release knot both pinched under my thumb.
