Arkansas Hunters Ed Practice Exam

When sighting-in a rifle, it is important to fire the rifle from a solid bench rest in order to minimize any external factors that may impact your shooting accuracy. A solid bench rest provides stability and reduces the chance of error due to a shaky or unbalanced position. Option A, running while shooting, would introduce too many variables and make it difficult to accurately determine the rifle's accuracy. Option C, firing the rifle underwater, would also introduce too many external factors and would not accurately reflect the rifle's performance on land. Option D, shooting with one eye closed, may be a personal preference for some shooters, but it is not necessary for accurately sighting-in a rifle.
