Knowing the effective range of your firearm is crucial for ensuring a humane kill and for safety reasons. Understanding the limitations of your firearm in terms of distance will help you make ethical decisions when hunting by ensuring that you can deliver a shot that is both accurate and effective in quickly and humanely taking down your target. This knowledge also contributes to safety as it prevents shooting at distances where the projectile might not have enough force to make a clean and humane kill or where there is a risk of causing injury to others in the vicinity.
