What is the proper way to identify your target and what is beyond?

  1. Guessing based on the movement

  2. Using binoculars, not the rifle scope

  3. Shooting first and identifying later

  4. Asking someone else to confirm your target

The correct answer is: Using binoculars, not the rifle scope

The proper way to identify your target and what is beyond is to use binoculars, not the rifle scope. Using binoculars allows for a wider field of view and better magnification to clearly see and identify your target and what lies beyond it. This practice helps ensure the safety of others in the vicinity and prevents accidental shootings. Guessing based on movement, shooting first and identifying later, and relying on someone else to confirm your target are all unsafe practices that can lead to tragic consequences.
