Question

question 22
which shot angle rarely results in a clean kill, ruins a lot of meat, and provides an animal the best opportunity to detect the hunter?
a quartering - away
b quartering - toward
c broadside
d head - on

Explanation:

• Quartering - away: The hunter has a good view of vital organs, and it is a relatively good shot angle.
• Broadside: This is a common and effective shot angle as it provides a clear view of the vital area.
• Head - on: The vital area (such as the heart and lungs) is less exposed. The animal can easily detect the hunter (as the hunter is in the line of the animal's vision if it is alert), and it is difficult to achieve a clean kill. Also, if the shot is not precise, it may ruin a lot of non - vital meat (e.g., if the bullet goes through the neck and upper chest area without hitting the heart or lungs).
• Quartering - toward: While not as good as broadside or quartering - away in some aspects, it is still better than the head - on shot in terms of hitting vital organs relatively easily compared to head - on.

Answer:

D. head - on
