What is the safest and most effective carrying position for walking through thick brush?

  1. Shoulder carry

  2. Trail carry

  3. Two-hand carry

  4. Sling carry

The correct answer is: Two-hand carry

When walking through thick brush, the safest and most effective carrying position is the two-hand carry. This method involves holding the firearm with both hands close to your body, keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and ensuring better control and balance. The two-hand carry allows for quick and easy shouldering of the firearm in case of a sudden need to use it. Shoulder carry, trail carry, and sling carry are not the best options in thick brush as they may increase the risk of accidents or make it challenging to move through dense vegetation safely.
