Under what circumstances is it safe to shoot at a flat, hard surface or water?

  1. When hunting waterfowl

  2. When using birdshot

  3. Never

  4. When testing the firearm's accuracy

The correct answer is: Never

Shooting at a flat, hard surface or water can be extremely dangerous due to the unpredictability of the bullet's bounce or ricochet. The bullet can skip off the surface, change direction, and potentially hit unintended targets or property. Therefore, it is never safe to shoot at a flat, hard surface or water. It is vital to always remember the importance of proper backstops and safe shooting practices to prevent accidents or injuries while handling firearms.
