I find the nervous Nellies are the ones walking around with one in the pipe thumb on the safety, then you hear the safety click off as they swing into action when they hear a squirrel hop thru the leaves or a twig snaps. The same ones who claim they got to be ready because "things happen fast" where I hunt.
I've seen many guys who claim they are always in control, know what they are doing, bla bla, they hear something, suddenly swing around, sweep everybody with their muzzle as they click the safety off . I prefer to hunt with folks who are calm, If the rare and odd time having to chamber a round causes them to lose an opportunity it isn't the end of the world. I avoid hunting with wound too tight jumpy people who are afraid of losing an opportunity because they don't have one in the pipe.
