Which of the following best defines a safe zone-of-fire?

  1. The area a hunter is assigned to watch

  2. The area where game can be shot safely

  3. The distance a bullet can travel

  4. An area free of other hunters

The correct answer is: The area where game can be shot safely

A safe zone-of-fire is the area where game can be shot safely. This means it is the designated area where a hunter is allowed to shoot at game without the risk of harming themselves or others. Option A is incorrect because while a hunter may be assigned to watch a specific area, this does not necessarily mean it is safe for shooting. Option C is incorrect because the distance a bullet can travel varies based on the firearm and ammunition used, and it does not account for any obstacles or potential hazards in the shooting area. Option D is incorrect because a safe zone-of-fire may still have other hunters present, as long as they are positioned in a safe location within the zone.
