View Full Version : "Point Blank Range"
What exactly does this mean? I've always thought it meant that it is close enough that a blank round could actually do some type damage to a human target... Enlighten me on this please...
No, it just means that you don't need to make any adjustment to the sights to hit the target. It is a "blank" or zero change to the elevation.
