  2. Only for participating in competitions

  3. To use more ammunition

  4. To impress other hunters

The correct answer is: To be able to shoot accurately in various hunting situations

Practicing firing at different distances and positions is important to be able to shoot accurately in various hunting situations. Hunters often encounter different terrain, distances, and shooting positions while out in the field. By practicing shooting under various conditions, hunters can build their skills and confidence to effectively and ethically harvest game in real-life hunting scenarios. This practice helps hunters become more versatile and adaptable in the field, improving their marksmanship and overall success as hunters. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not capture the main purpose of practicing firing at different distances and positions when it comes to hunting.
