Editing Point-blank range (section)

====Hunting====
A large target, like the vitals area of a [[deer]], allows a deviation of a few inches (as much as 10&nbsp;cm) while still ensuring a quickly disabling hit. [[Vermin]] such as [[prairie dog]]s require a much smaller deviation, less than an inch (about 2&nbsp;cm).<ref name="zLf4K">{{cite web|url=http://www.loadammo.com/Topics/February02.htm |title=Point Blank Range |publisher=Load From A Disk |access-date=11 September 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070801101808/http://www.loadammo.com/Topics/February02.htm |archive-date=1 August 2007}}</ref> The height of the sights has two effects on point blank range. If the sights are lower than the allowable deviation, then point blank range starts at the muzzle, and any difference between the sight height and the allowable deviation is lost distance that could have been in point blank range. Higher sights, up to the maximum allowable deviation, push the maximum point blank range farther from the gun. Sights that are higher than the maximum allowable deviation push the start of the point blank range farther out from the muzzle; this is common with [[varmint rifle]]s, where close shots are only sometimes made, as it places the point blank range out to the expected range of the usual targets.
