Why is it important to know your target and what is beyond it?

  1. To ensure you hit the target

  2. To prevent damage to the environment

  3. To avoid injuring non-target species or people

  4. To make sure you're within range

The correct answer is: To avoid injuring non-target species or people

It is important to know your target and what is beyond it because this helps to prevent any accidents or harm to non-target species or people. When aiming at a specific target, it is crucial to be aware of your surroundings and potential risks. Options A, B, and D are not necessarily incorrect, but they do not fully address the importance of considering non-target species and people in target practice. Simply hitting the target, preventing environmental damage, or staying within range does not guarantee safety to those around us. It is important to prioritize safety for all living beings when practicing with a target.
