Colorado Hunter Education Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

When hunting, why is it important to know the effective range of your firearm?

To ensure you carry enough ammunition

To make it easier to hit the target

To ensure shots are ethical and humane

Knowing the effective range of your firearm is important for ensuring ethical and humane shots while hunting. If the range of your firearm is not taken into consideration, you may take a shot that is too far and injure the animal instead of killing it quickly and humanely. This could result in unnecessary suffering for the animal and may not comply with game laws. Additionally, knowing the effective range can also help with accuracy and make it easier to hit the target. It is not directly related to carrying enough ammunition as that will depend on the specific hunting situation and knowing the effective range does not comply with game laws; it is the hunter's responsibility to understand and follow these laws.
