Question

what is the preferred rifle shot for larger game animals, such as elk or bear?
a rear - end
b quartering - toward
c broadside
d head - on

Explanation:

When hunting larger game animals like elk or bear, the broadside shot is preferred. In a broadside shot, the animal is facing sideways, presenting a larger vital area (such as the heart and lungs) for a clean and ethical kill. This shot allows for a more direct path to the vital organs compared to other angles like head - on (where the target area is smaller and more protected by bones), quartering - toward (risk of hitting non - vital areas or having the bullet deflected), or rear - end (hitting the hindquarters which are less vital and may cause the animal to run and suffer more).

Answer:

C. broadside
