Which carry method is recommended when using a break action firearm?

The recommended carry method for a break action firearm is the shoulder carry. This method involves placing the firearm over your shoulder, with the muzzle pointed upward and away from your body and others. The shoulder carry is advantageous because it keeps the firearm secure and reduces the risk of accidental discharge while allowing for easy access and readiness for use.

Using this carry method also helps to maintain good control of the firearm, keeping it elevated and minimizing the potential for obstruction or entanglement with vegetation or terrain, which can often be a concern during hunting or moving through the field. The shoulder carry thus promotes safe handling and reduces risks when transporting a break action firearm.
