What should you do before hunting to ensure accuracy?

• Limit your shots to the most accurate range

• Hit an 8-inch target at 100 yards from a bench rest

• Practice until you are confident you can hit the required target at the distances and from the shooting positions you expect to use in the field

• Always shoot from a standing or kneeling position

What is the sight picture in rifle firing?

• The image you see when the rifle is not aligned with the target

• The image you see when the sights are aligned correctly with the target

• The image seen through the telescopic sight only

• The image seen when the rifle is loaded

How do you determine your dominant or "master" eye?

• By closing both eyes and whichever opens first is the dominant eye

• By looking at an object through a triangular opening made with your hands

• By closing one eye and guessing which is stronger

• By aiming with the non-dominant eye to see if it is more accurate

What should you do if you are color-blind and plan to go hunting?

• Ignore the condition as it does not affect hunting

• Be especially cautious, you may not be able to distinguish the daylight fluorescent orange clothing of other hunters

• Wear glasses that correct color blindness

• Hunt only at night when color vision is not required

Why is good vision important according to the "Remember" section?

• It is not important as long as the rifle is properly sighted

• Good vision is only important for competitive shooters

• Good vision is the foundation for good shooting and hunting safety

• Good vision is required to see animals from a very long distance
