If one doesn't understand what "rising" means in this context it indicates further lack of important basics.

Many new "hunters" have not grown up on a paddock shooting rabbits with a 22 from the age of "just barely able to walk"

And sadly the availability of institutions that help beginners to learn to properly shoot so they can hunt in a safe manner is very limited. Although that would be the only way forward to ensure hunting and shooting does not get banned eventually.

The NZDA HUNTS course cover all this stuff for beginners.
