Maine Firearm Hunter Safety Course Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

When is it safe to shoot a bullet at a flat, hard surface or water?

Never

Shooting a bullet at a flat, hard surface or water is never a safe practice, regardless of the distance or type of firearm used. This could result in unpredictable ricochets that can harm innocent bystanders or damage property. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. While hunting waterfowl may involve shooting near water, this should only be done with proper safety precautions and not directly at the water surface. Additionally, using a smaller caliber firearm does not make the practice of shooting at a flat, hard surface or water any safer. It is always important to prioritize safety when handling firearms.
