Knowing a firearm's range tells you how far the bullet or shot can travel and still do what?

• A. Cause injury.
• B. Hit the target exactly at any distance.
• C. Change trajectory with no wind.
• D. Be silent at distance.

Answer: (A)

Knowing a firearm's range tells you how far the bullet or shot can travel and still cause injury. Within that distance, the projectile has enough energy to harm a person or wildlife if it strikes. It doesn’t guarantee a hit at any distance—accuracy depends on aiming, wind, bullet drop, and other conditions. It also isn’t about silence or winds changing trajectory by themselves; wind and sound are separate factors from the range limit.
