Post #9 and post #10 lay out the dueling philosophies back to back . And my take is ... not exactly either .
My disagreement with the maximum point blank theory is its putting equal value upon holding under at more frequent distances, and hold over at longer distances . I despise hold unders , and accept reasonable hold overs .
The idea of MPBR is NO hold over or under. You aim center of vital area, and the bullet will strike within the vital area.
So MPBR does change with type of target. So for a target with a 10" diameter vital area, the MPBR would be such that a center hold would impact no more than 5" high or 5" low from the muzzle to the MPBR max range. Beyond that max range, you would have to hold over.
There would never be a hold under using MPBR.
