Before firing a shot, what should you be certain of?

  1. Your backstop/background

  2. The wind direction

  3. The time of day

  4. Your hunting license is valid

The correct answer is: Your backstop/background

Before firing a shot, it is important to be certain of your backstop/background. This means knowing what is behind your target to ensure that your shot will not harm anything other than your intended target. It is crucial for hunter safety to be aware of your surroundings and what lies beyond your target to prevent accidents or injuries. The other options, such as the wind direction, time of day, or the validity of your hunting license, while important in hunting, are not as critical to ensuring the safety of your shot as being certain of your backstop/background.
