All hunters’ safe zones of fire change when even one hunter changes location.

Group hunting zones

• A safe zone of fire is the area in front of a hunter where it is safe to shoot, commonly about a 45‑degree cone.

• When one hunter moves, the relative positions of everyone change, so the safe zone for that hunter and for all other hunters in the group must be adjusted.

Practical takeaway

• Before moving, a hunter should alert the group, then everyone must re‑establish their own safe zones of fire based on the new positions.

• Hunters should stay in agreed positions, walk side by side when appropriate, and never shoot outside their current safe zone of fire.
