I heard someone use the term 'point blank range'

to mean extremely close range which is a misnomer.

The point blank concept is really an elevation sight setting where one can aim at the center of mass and still inflict a casualty. It can be as far as 400 yards or even greater depending on the rifle's external ballistics.
