Every shooter should know where they may shoot — and where they must never shoot.
A good stand
A good stand is where the game actually moves: at crossings, along bog edges and where the terrain funnels the animals. It has a field of fire you can watch without standing up, and a natural backstop that stops the bullet.
Think about what lies behind the field of fire before you think about the field itself. A rifle bullet can travel several kilometres.
Sectors are an agreement
Before the hunt starts, every shooter should know which directions are safe and which are forbidden: neighbouring stands, the drivers' line, roads, houses and paths.
A safe sector only covers what you can see clearly and where the bullet has a safe backstop. If in doubt, do not shoot.
Walk the stands together
Go through the stands with new hunters and guests before the hunt, preferably on site. A map is good; having stood on the stand is better.
In Veida
Stands have numbers, types and elevation. Shooting sectors are drawn with bearing and range on the map, and Veida warns when two sectors point at each other — and alerts the shooter when someone walks into their sector during the hunt.
