The technique to carry a firearm that should be used to fire quickly is Two-Handed or “Ready” Carry. However, there are many other ways to carry a firearm.
EXPLANATION:
There are many different techniques to carry firearms securely. No matter how you choose to carry the firearm while doing the hunting, you should be sure that:
• The safety is in the position of “on.”
• Your finger must be on the outside of the trigger guard.
• The muzzle points must be in a safe direction and must be under control.
• The gun remnants unloaded until ready to hunt.
Here are the techniques:
Elbow or Side Carry
It is a comfortable technique, but it has the least control of muzzle. It also can hurdle in brushy terrain. Use it when there are no other people in front of you.
Sling Carry
Take it easy for long trips through the open country. Keep your sling while walking so that it does not slip off your shoulders if you stumble. A thick brush is not recommended because the gun can be released from your shoulder.
Trail Carry
Leave your hand for balance, but do not use it when you are in someone’s back. It is not recommended for walking in brush or snow—debris can get into the barrel.
Two-Handed or Ready Carry
It gives the best control, especially on thick bushes or weeds, or when you need to shoot quickly.
Cradle Carry
It is comfortable and safe; it reduces arm fatigue.
Shoulder Carry
It is a good choice in waist-high brushes. Do not use it if there is someone behind you.
