Minnesota Firearms Safety Hunter Education Practice Exam

What should you do to ensure your hunting rifle's accuracy?

1. Clean it only at the beginning of the season

2. Decorate the stock for better handling

3. Use any available ammunition

4. Sight it in before hunting

The correct answer is: Sight it in before hunting

Sighting in your hunting rifle before hunting is crucial to ensure accuracy. This process involves adjusting the scope or sights so that the bullets hit the desired target at a specific distance. By doing this, you can be confident that your shots will be on target when you are out hunting. Cleaning the rifle, decorating the stock, or using any available ammunition do not directly impact the accuracy of the rifle as sighting it in does.
