1907 sling too short?

I just got my Christmas gift from me to me in the mail. I was trying it on as a loop sling, but it feels a bit short. Im 6 ft 3 in. The long strap by itself is 48 inches long. I bought it from Hesse guys http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G02ULC/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
I'm used to a web sling, so maybe it's not set up right, but according to this I should be around the 6th hole on average, but I'm in the last hole. http://www.turnersling.com/faq_how_use.html. Any advice?
 
It makes a big difference what type of rifle you are using it on?

That length will be OK for a 1903, M1 or M1A. If using it on an AR then you need the 52" length as the sling swivel is further out on the bbl than the others.

I've seen that some guys have even had trouble with M1 getting into a 48 inch sling if they've got long ape hangers like me. I guess I'll be spending three times as much and get a Turner Sling.
 
With any equipment you purchase for XC competition, ask around at the matches. There are plenty of experienced shooters who will answer questions for you. That way you can zero in on exactly the items that will work for you.

I will certainly do that.
