Manitoba Hunter Safety Practice Exam

Which of the following should the responsible bowhunter do to ensure a proper shot in the Field?

1. Use a bow with a high draw weight and draw length

2. Practice judgment and distance often before heading into the field

3. Use arm guards at all times when firing a bow

4. Always hunt from the ground, never from a treestand

The correct answer is: Practice judgment and distance often before heading into the field

The responsible bowhunter should frequently practice judgment and distance before going into the field to ensure a proper shot. This option is the best choice because it promotes safety and accuracy while hunting. Option A is incorrect because a bow with a high draw weight and draw length may be difficult to control and could result in an inaccurate and dangerous shot. Option C is incorrect because arm guards are not necessary for a proper shot, but can be helpful in preventing injury. Option D is incorrect because hunting from a treestand can provide better vantage points and concealment from animals. However, it is important to use proper safety precautions when hunting from a treestand. Thus, option B is the best choice for ensuring a proper shot in the field.
