What is a safe practice when hunting with a bow?

  1. Nocking an arrow when you see game

  2. Keeping your finger on the trigger while aiming

  3. Using a mechanical broadhead

  4. Drawing the bow with your feet

The correct answer is: Nocking an arrow when you see game

Nocking an arrow when you see game is a safe practice when hunting with a bow because it allows you to be prepared for a potential shot while minimizing the time your arrow is in a loaded position. Keeping your finger on the trigger while aiming is unsafe as it can lead to accidental firing. Using a mechanical broadhead can be a personal preference but is not directly related to safety. Drawing the bow with your feet is not a recommended practice for safety or accuracy reasons.
