Pergunta 2 de 25
In the diagram, why is shot 1 safe and shot 2 unsafe?
- Shot 1 is safe only because the hunter is closer to the deer

- Shot 2 is safe because the house is too far away to reach
- Shot 1 ends in an earth bank; shot 2 is against open sky, with a house hidden beyond the ridge

Projectiles can bounce off hard or flat surfaces, including water, and travel toward people you cannot see.
Pergunta 15 de 25
Right after you shoot at an animal, what should you do?
- Fire more shots into the bush where it went
- Leave the area if you did not see it fall

- Watch where it goes, mark the spot where it stood, and wait quietly before following
