How to use "Point-blank" in context?
Since its inception in the 1892 Olympics, shooting has always been an integral part of the sporting event. In team and individual competitions, shooters use a series of targets or "bull's-eyes" to hit as close to the center as possible.
The rules of the sport are simple: each target is worth a set number of points, and the first shooter to score a predetermined number of points wins the match. In team competition, each shooter takes turns firing points until one shooter or team scores enough to win.
