Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why the "African Carry"? Rifle on shoulder?

I've seen more than one silly magazine article along the lines of "How to Get Your Slung Rifle into Action Quickly When You Spot Something to Shoot". My sling stays in my pocket or pack unless I need it while dragging a dead animal, climbing a tree etc. My rifle stays in my hands or rarely at shoulder arms.
