When two duck hunters are back-to-back in a boat, how large is the zone-of-fire for each hunter?

90 degrees
135 degrees
180 degrees
360 degrees

The correct answer is: 180 degrees

For duck hunters positioned back-to-back in a boat, each hunter's zone-of-fire is appropriately defined as 180 degrees. This configuration allows each hunter to safely cover their respective shooting areas while minimizing the risk of accidents. By positioning themselves this way, each hunter's field of fire extends outward to the sides, ensuring that they can shoot forward without the danger of shooting towards one another or the boat itself. A zone-of-fire of 180 degrees means that each hunter can effectively engage targets in front of their respective sides while keeping their shot safe. This setup is crucial in maintaining safety during hunting, as it prevents overlap in their firing paths, which could result in serious accidents. The 180-degree concept is widely taught in hunter safety courses to emphasize the importance of situational awareness and responsible shooting practices.
