I put it on both ways, and decided to try this way first.
I def like the looks betr this way, and no fear of legs collapsing if/when "pulling" rig towards/into me for a shot. Plus it fits in its gun case much betr.

I may very well change it back if I have to make long hauls with it maybe...... Time will tell I reckon.
But it seems fine for what will be my short hikes to get set up, on my current properties anyway!
