The safe method for three hunters walking single file is for all three to use the shoulder carry. This provides enough space between them and reduces the risk of accidental hits. The hunter in front should keep the muzzle pointed to the side or up, the hunter in the middle should have the gun pointed to the side, and the hunter in the rear may point the gun to either side or the rear when using this carry style. Other carry methods like elbow or side carry by the hunter in the center or trail carry by multiple hunters are unsafe due to the risk of accidental injury.
