Re: Goose chair or layout blind.
I've never thought about pointing it backwards, maybe becuase you know whats it front of you and if somebody walked in from behind the barrell not pointing right at them. Its not like the end of the barrell is resting on your foot where if it went off it would blow a couple toes off. The barrel is past my foot by a couple inches and will sit there all day and I dont have to worry about it.
Another thing about having it across your chest is when you're calling, you normally use two hands and that wouldnt be a pretty sight holding a call and you're pretty much hugging the barrel, where as with it pointing after your toes the stock is always right there on my hip and easy to pick up.
1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
