What is the aim of the fourth code of ethics?

The fourth code of ethics aims to acquire good marksmanship and hunting skills because it emphasizes the importance of developing proficiency in shooting and the responsible handling of firearms while hunting. This focus on skill not only enhances the safety of the hunter but also contributes to ethical hunting practices, reducing the risk of injury to the hunter or others and minimizing suffering for the animals being hunted. Good marksmanship ensures that hunters can make clean, humane shots, which is a fundamental principle of ethical hunting. By prioritizing skill development, hunters become more effective and responsible in their activities, fostering an environment where safety and respect for wildlife are upheld.
