What should you do if a hang fire happens while shooting a muzzleloader?

Unload the gun immediately
Shake the gun
Keep the gun pointed down range
Place the gun on the ground

The correct answer is: Keep the gun pointed down range

If a hang fire happens while shooting a muzzleloader, the best course of action is to keep the gun pointed down range. A hang fire is a delay in the ignition of the gunpowder, and it is important to keep the gun pointed in a safe direction in case the gun does fire. Unloading the gun immediately or shaking it may cause the gun to fire unexpectedly, while placing it on the ground could lead to potential damage or an accidental discharge. Therefore, the safest option is to keep the gun pointed down range until it can be inspected and cleared by a professional.
