    It’s so wild to me to hear these things, because it’s been a good 15 years since I took hunter safety training in my state, but the literal first thing they taught us was about considering where your bullet’s going to go.

        Yes, the technical term is muzzle control.

        But in my state there are lots of wooded areas bumped up against residential areas, so it’s also important to consider that your bullet might travel a few miles and through someone’s window too.
