I am posting a question to the "Africa" hunters....
Why, when I watch television hunting programs of African Safaris the hunters almost without exception opt to not use a rifle sling and instead would rather choose to cradle their rifle on their shoulder with the business end (presumably with a round in the chamber) pointed directly at the PH or tracker in front? I would wager when these same hunters are chasing Elk or Deer in the United States they without exception use a rifle sling!
Is this an attempt to "when in Rome do as the Romans" or just some preconceived notion of "looking cool"?
I have hunted Africa and used my rifle sling because this is the safest direction for the muzzle to point.
Any opinions"
