Thread: Who the hell writes this stuff

Fire 3 shots 5 seconds apart ( in a safe direction naturally, and without a suppressor)and repeat after 15 minutes, that will guide your "lost" partner to your location.

the question says nothing about anyone being lost. they just can't visually see each other.

Here's another one for you.
"You are out hunting and make the decision to fire. Which of the seven rules is most important?"
Apparently the answer is. "Identify your target beyond all doubt"
I say this is not correct. Its the other way around. You can't make the decision to fire until you've identified you target beyond all doubt.
Again I say who write this stuff. this question is fundamentally wrong. Or at the very least poorly worded.

Then you may as well go home, all the animals will know what’s going on?

The smoke should mark your position adequately

Brings us back to the original problem, I've lost sight of my mate

WTF? . . .Keep hunting. "IF" you follow the 7 basic rules, there "WONT" be a problem.

Agreed, You know he's there. Identify your target beyond all doubt. Been in that situation plenty of times and never even looked like having a problem. then on the other answer I highlighted earlier in the post. Apparently you can make the decision to fire. BEFORE you have positively identified your target. Their words, not mine.
