Which of the following is NOT a factor in making a responsible and ethical shot?

  1. The animal's speed

  2. The hunter's skill level

  3. The firearm's range

  4. The weather conditions

The correct answer is: The animal's speed

A responsible and ethical shot takes into consideration several factors, including the animal's welfare and accuracy of the shot. The animal's speed may influence the difficulty of the shot, but it is not a factor in determining whether or not a shot is responsible and ethical. The hunter's skill level, the firearm's range, and the weather conditions are all important factors to consider in making a responsible and ethical shot. However, they do not directly relate to the welfare and accuracy of the shot, unlike the animal's speed.
