To sling or not to sling?

Maybe that is why I have never hunted with Sharp!

Show me a man who can open a can of beer without spilling a drop while using the African carry. That's why a real man has to have a sling

Now you have me reconsidering my decision to go slingless.

That's what your chin is for

Helps the balance well.

Yea, or just wrap your barrel hand over the barrels to hold the beer bottle or lighter, my favorite means of opening a beer bottle.

Alternatively, use your free hand on the bottle and the latch catch on the back of the door opening. I think Toyota put it there as an emergency bottle opener, in case you loose your lighter.

Well now. I can reload a S&W Chief Special revolver with a speed loader using my toes, yes beer was consumed before this bet was offered and accepted, so I am sure I can open a beer while doing the African carry.
