[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 167497, member: 3756"] Yes, "point blank" and "point blank range" or "maximum point blank range" or "PBR" or "MPBR" it all reffers to the same thing. Here's a quote from ballistics Explorer: The easiest way for me to explain it is like this: Let's say you have a 6" paper plate that you want to able to hit every time by aiming dead center [B]regardless of the distance[/B]; so you ask me, at what distance should I zero my rifle to do this and what would be the Maximum distance that I can place the 6" paper plate to still be able to hit it? I would get all the info about your weapon, the conditions etc. plug it into one of my programs and tell it that the vital Zone (VZ) is 6" inches. Then the program tells me where I need to zero Example 260 yards and where would be my maximum distance. Example 315 yards. So anything from the muzzle all the way to 315 yards, all you have to do is aim dead center of the target without making any corrections and if you do your job you will hit the paper plate some where inside the vitals. From the muzzle to 315 yards, the bullet will not go higher then 3 inches, nor it will go lower than 3 inches. [/QUOTE]
