FWIW Ive seen many folks doing the weak hand cradle carry and point the rifle at their partner also. That doesnt make the method of carry wrong, just the hunter.
Damned if I didn't turn on the TV over the weekend and watch The Shootist, which is John Wayne's best movie as far as I'm concerned.
I've seen this movie a bunch of times but this was the first time I noticed Wayne, carrying his Winchester in his weak hand, point the muzzle seemingly right at Ron Howard's chest, while he's asking "young Gillum" to take his horse down to the livery. And even if the camera angle is slightly misleading, it had to be close enough to dammit.
Thought the Duke would have known better.
