For a safe shot, what must you be sure of?

  1. Your target and what is beyond it

  2. The range of your weapon

  3. Both A and B

  4. The wind speed

The correct answer is: Both A and B

It is important to be sure of both your target and what is beyond it and the range of your weapon in order to take a safe shot. Option A only includes being sure of your target, but does not mention the range of your weapon. Option B only mentions the range of your weapon, but does not mention what is beyond your target. Option D mentions the wind speed, which is a factor to consider when taking a safe shot, but it is not the only thing that must be considered. Therefore, the best answer is option C because it includes both components that are necessary for a safe shot.
