  1. What is a projectile?
    Show the answer

    An object thrown or shot through the air. A projectile is an object launched through the air, so devices shooting them fast need care and approved locations.

  2. Why must a high-speed projectile device be used only in approved locations?
    Show the answer

    Because fast projectiles can be dangerous. High-speed projectiles can cause harm, so they belong only in safe, approved places under proper supervision.

  3. What should you do before shooting on a range?
    Show the answer

    Learn and follow the range safety rules. Knowing the five range safety rules helps everyone shoot safely and avoid accidents.
