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

When you are sure it’s your target and what is beyond
When the animal sounds are close
If the target is within range
Never

The correct answer is: When you are sure it’s your target and what is beyond

Shooting at a partially obscured target can be dangerous and must be done with extreme caution. While it may be tempting to shoot at a target when you are within range or hear animal sounds, these indicators are not enough to ensure a safe shot. It is crucial to always know exactly what is in your line of fire and what is beyond your target. This means visually confirming your target and being aware of any potential hazards or bystanders in the surrounding area. As a general rule, it is never safe to shoot at a partially obscured target unless you are certain of your target and what is beyond. Choosing any other option (B, C, or D) may result in harm to yourself or others, making option A the only correct and safe choice.
