For a field shotgun with a shorter barrel (20 inches), walking through the brush/forests looking for deer, are there any advantages of having the shotgun slung on the side as opposed to the traditional 2 point system underneath the shotgun?
Pros, I think you can have the shotgun across your chest and readily shouldered if you see something. Better control of muzzle, and you can adjust the amount of slack.
Cons, can't wrap the sling around your arm to steady firing slugs. Less streamlined when walking through brush.
