You will regret the sling when the game flushes, and your gun is on your shoulder instead of in your hands.
I wanted to use the Quake sling that came with my CVA for all my firearms, so I retrofitted my 1100 with slingstuds so I could keep my hands free. But I only do that walking in to my chosen hunting ground. I take it off when I get there, and stick it in my game pouch.
Other styles of sling slip on and off with a loop instead of swivels. You should be able to take a look at these starting around $10 anywhere sporting goods are sold, and online. Some people just use a length of clothesline with a slip noose at each end.
You really don't want it in the way when it's time to shoot.

Buttler Creek make a good "quick attach/detach" swivels. There are LOTS of good cheap slings at Wally World. Just pick one you like.
