Which safe firearm carry is called the elbow carry?

• A. Cross-body carry
• B. Diagon al carry
• C. Under-arm carry
• D. Elbow carry

Answer: (D)

Elbow carry means cradling the rifle in the bend of your shooting arm, with the stock resting against your elbow and the barrel kept in a safe direction close to your body. This position gives you solid control, keeps the firearm compact and close so you don’t snag brush, and leaves your other hand free to move or brace yourself as you travel. The other carries describe different placements—across the chest, at an angle across the torso, or tucked under the arm near the armpit—so they aren’t the elbow-cradle method. That distinctive cradle in the elbow is what identifies the elbow carry.
