Wisconsin Hunter's Safety Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Why is it important to keep shot shells separated by size?

A smaller gauge shot shell can slip past the chamber of a larger gauge gun and result in serious accident.

Smaller gauge shot shells are designed to be used with a specific gauge gun, which is the size of the barrel. If a smaller gauge shot shell is accidentally used with a larger gauge gun, it can slip past the chamber and potentially cause serious injury. This is why it is important to keep shot shells separated by size. Options B and C may seem like good reasons to keep shot shells separated, but they do not address the potential safety hazards of using the wrong size shell. Option D may be a valid reason in some areas, but it does not explain why it is important to keep them separated, just that it is a requirement.
