What is considered the 'zone-of-fire'?

  1. The area a hunter is covering while watching for game

  2. The area where it is safe to shoot

  3. The area within range when using a firearm

  4. The field of view that can safely be shot into without risk to others

The correct answer is: The field of view that can safely be shot into without risk to others

The 'zone-of-fire' is the area of space in which a hunter or shooter can safely fire their firearm without endangering the lives of others. Option A is incorrect because it only refers to the hunter's field of view, not the actual area where it is safe to shoot. Option B is incorrect because it only refers to safety, not the specific area in which it is safe to shoot. Option C is incorrect because it only refers to the range of the firearm, not the actual zone of fire. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, as it encompasses both safety and the specific area in which it is safe to shoot.
