Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is an important consideration when targeting a shotgun?

Firing a shotgun is no different than firing a rifle

When shooting at a moving target, the hunter should always try to spread the shot behind the animal

Shotgun ammunition tends to have a greater effective range than rifle bullets

Shotguns are pointed at a target, not aimed like rifles

When targeting a shotgun, it is important to remember that shotguns are pointed at a target rather than aimed like rifles. This is because shotguns use a wider spread of shot, making precise aiming unnecessary. Option A is incorrect because firing a shotgun is, in fact, different than firing a rifle due to the difference in spread of shot. Option B is also incorrect because, while spreading the shot behind a moving target may increase the chances of hitting it, it is not always the best approach and may depend on the specific situation. Option C is incorrect because, while some types of shotgun ammunition do have a greater effective range than rifle bullets, this is not always the case and the effective range also depends on the type of shotgun used.
