That "mid way" point of bolt closure is more like 7/8 way up and this is the first I have heard of carrying in that position. I have hunted Africa and didn`t see that but I don't plan to go again so I guess it is a moot point.
Good luck keeping that muzzle control when falling on your ass. There isn`t a damn person here who hasn't flagged someone by accident, even if unknowingly. I won't believe otherwise. Shame on us all for that. It is inexcusable but it is naive to think you always have total control of that muzzle, in any situation.
Between this and some other folk`s thoughts concerning gun handling and responsibility on other threads I can see why Deflave and Big Stick think so highly of Texans...
