If a foot isn’t point blank then what is.
“If a foot isn’t point blank then what is.”
Point blank is the range at which the projectile drops below line-of-sight an equal amount as it rose above line-of-sight. It depends somewhat on the zero point (line of sight intersects with target), but point blank is the range within which vertical miss is defined by a few inches up or down from the line of sight.
For a .223, this can be 200+ yards if the zero is at 100 yards. Less for a handgun.
The antis and “journalists” think it means really really close, when actually it can be within a football field or two.
