Wisconsin Hunter's Safety Practice Exam

When sighting in a rifle, always adjust the rear sight in the direction you want the bullet to impact the target. This is because the rear sight helps to align the front sight and the target, so adjusting it in the direction of the desired impact will ensure that the bullet will hit the intended target. Option B is incorrect because adjusting the rear sight in the opposite direction would cause the bullet to hit in the opposite direction. Option C is not a factor in this scenario as the direction of adjustment is dependent on the desired impact, not the type of rifle. Option D is also incorrect as the direction of adjusting the rear sight is mentioned in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
