When identifying a target, what must you be sure of?

  1. The target is within range

  2. The target is not endangered species

  3. The target has no background

  4. You clearly identify the target and what is beyond it

The correct answer is: You clearly identify the target and what is beyond it

When identifying a target, it is crucial to be sure that you clearly identify the target and what is beyond it. This is the correct answer because it emphasizes the importance of properly identifying your target to ensure safety. By knowing your target and what lies beyond it, you can prevent accidental shootings and ensure that you are shooting at what you intend to. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not fully address the importance of proper target identification and awareness of surroundings. It's not just about being within range, ensuring it's not an endangered species, or having no background; it's about clearly identifying the target and being aware of what is behind it to avoid any potential risks or accidents.
