Before firing a shot, what should you be sure of?

  1. Your target and what is in front of it

  2. Your target and what is beyond it

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Before firing a shot, it is crucial to be sure of both your target and what is beyond it. Ensuring that you know what your target is, and what lies behind it is essential for firearm safety. By understanding your target, you can avoid accidental harm to unintended objects or individuals. Knowing what is beyond your target helps prevent the risk of injuring others or causing property damage if the bullet were to pass through the target. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as both A and B are key factors to consider ensuring a safe and responsible shooting experience.
