Which field carry gives you the best control of the muzzle?

The two-hand or ready carry.

  1. The two-hand or ready carry ✔
  2. The trail carry
  3. The sling carry

Why: In the two-hand carry, both hands hold the gun in front of your body with the barrel up. It gives the best muzzle control, especially in thick brush or when you need to be ready. Your trigger finger stays outside the guard.

Huh, didn't know that: Hunter education says to use the two-hand carry whenever possible because of its muzzle control.

The dad joke
Why did the hunter clap after the lesson? He liked anything that took two hands.
