I wait until I am ready to take the animal, slide the safety to the off position and cock the hammer. It is pretty easy to get use to. I like hunting with single shot rifles and muzzleloaders so a slight amount of additional prep just goes with the territory. That and the area I hunt has lots of deer so a missed opportunity is no big deal. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns
