What is the elbow carry?
Carrying a firearm with the forearm draped over your elbow. Muzzle is pointed toward the ground.
Elbow carry is a safe method when walking in a field or through grassland. Safe to use when others are behind or to your side, but not when they are in front of you.
One key advantage of using this carrying method is its comfort and ability to evenly distribute the weight of your firearm. This approach becomes particularly appealing during extended stays in the field, offering respite when fatigue sets in after hours of shooting or tracking your target.
Additionally, this position enhances safety visibility. Individuals nearby can readily observe that your firearm is secure, action open, and muzzle pointed downward.
