Maine Firearm Hunter Safety Practice Exam 2025 – Complete Test Prep

Question: 1 / 400

A responsible hunter, when sighting in a rifle, should:

Use a solid backstop

The responsible hunter should use a solid backstop when sighting in a rifle because it helps to contain the bullet in case of a missed shot or ricochet. It also helps to prevent the bullet from traveling too far and potentially causing harm or damage beyond the intended target. Aimimg at a flat surface is not recommended as it does not provide a clear point of reference for accuracy and can cause the bullet to ricochet in unpredictable directions. Only sighting in at close range is not recommended as it does not allow for proper adjustments and accuracy at longer ranges. Using the largest caliber available is not necessary and can actually be detrimental as it can cause excessive recoil and difficulty with accuracy.
