Frage 10 von 25
A friend hands you a rifle and says, "Don't worry, it's unloaded." What should you do?
- Look down the barrel from the muzzle end
- Pull the trigger to make sure
- Trust your friend and put it in the truck

Frage 11 von 25
What is a "safe direction" to point a firearm?
- Toward the nearest tree, since trees stop bullets
- Always at the ground near your feet, in every situation
- A direction where an accidental shot could not hurt anyone or damage property
- Always straight up in the air, since bullets fired upward cannot hurt anyone below
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. A direction where an accidental shot could not hurt anyone or damage property
The safe direction depends on where people, buildings and hard surfaces are. Straight up or straight down is not always safe.
Frage 12 von 25
Why should you never "dry-fire" a bow or crossbow (release the string without an arrow or bolt)?
- It wastes arrows
- It only matters for crossbows, not bows
- It makes the string too tight to draw again
- It can break the bow and injure you
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: D. It can break the bow and injure you
Without an arrow to take the energy, the bow can be damaged or come apart.

- One person climbs over while the other covers them with a loaded firearm
- Unload both firearms; one person holds both while the other crosses, then hands them over
- Each person climbs over carefully while holding their own loaded firearm with the safety on
- Both lean their loaded firearms on the fence and climb over together

With both firearms unloaded and actions open, one hunter can safely hand them across to the other.
Frage 18 von 25
Why can a hunter wear blaze orange and still hunt deer?
- Deer see colours differently, so orange does not stand out to them as it does to us
- Orange clothing is only worn after the animal has been shot
- Deer are attracted to orange, so it helps bring them closer
- Deer are fully colour-blind, so they cannot see any bright colours at all in daylight
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. Deer see colours differently, so orange does not stand out to them as it does to us
Blaze orange is very visible to people but does not stand out the same way to deer. Movement is more likely to alert them.
