In a line of three hunters, who has the narrowest zone of fire?

The hunter in the middle.

  1. The hunter on the left
  2. The hunter on the right
  3. The hunter in the middle ✔

Why: The middle hunter has partners on both sides, so the safe slice is squeezed from two directions. Hunters on the ends get a wider zone toward their open side. In a blind, rotating seats keeps it fair.

Huh, didn't know that: Zones of fire should be set before the hunt begins and adjusted as the group moves.

The dad joke
Why did the middle duck hunter feel squeezed? Everyone was in his space.
