Preferably slung from the shoulder or in slip or gun case. We strongly recommend using a sling; this will make life on the range much easier and safer for all. Good one- or two-point sling designs are easily obtained at relative low cost. Get one! The competitor is not allowed to handle the Shotgun for any other purposes than transporting it in the prescribed manner to and from the firing line, the gun rack or the Safety Area, unless in a Safety Area or ordered to do so by a Range Officer on an active firing line. It must be stressed that since a Shotgun is not holstered, but often carried openly, the chamber flag must be fitted as this is the only visual indication that the Shotgun is made safe and cannot be fired.
