Which of the following is one of the advantages of using a treestand?

  1. The hunter is protected from the wind and the rain

  2. The hunter shoots toward the ground which acts as a backstop

  3. Accidents rarely occur when a person is hunting from a treestand

  4. It requires less equipment than when hunting from the ground

The correct answer is: The hunter shoots toward the ground which acts as a backstop

One of the advantages of using a treestand is that the hunter is able to shoot toward the ground, which acts as a natural backstop. This means that in the event of an accidental shot, the arrow or bullet will hit the ground and not potentially harm anyone or anything in the surrounding area. None of the other options mention this safety aspect of using a treestand. Option A, while it may provide protection from elements, does not address the safety of shooting towards the ground. Option C mentions accidents rarely occurring, but this cannot be guaranteed and does not mention the backstop benefit. Option D may require less equipment, but this does not make it a safer option. Therefore, B is the most advantageous and safe option when using a treestand.
