When is it safe to shoot at a partially obscured target?

  1. When you believe it is game

  2. When you have identified the target and what lies beyond

  3. When you are shooting with a high-power rifle

  4. Never

The correct answer is: Never

It is never safe to shoot at a partially obscured target. Even if it appears to be game, there could be other objects or people beyond the target that you may not see. It is important to always identify the target and what lies beyond before shooting to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you. Using a high-power rifle does not change the fact that shooting at a partially obscured target is dangerous.
