Depends on the situation--when hunting, I don't think I would shoot over 20-25 yds at a whitetail, less than that at a rabbit or squirrel. On 3-D, it just depends on how sadistic the person setting up the course is--lol. I have had 80 yd shots before, but normally 35-40 is a long shot for 3-D. When practicing, most shots are 15-25 yds. I don't use sights, but on the really long shots I do gap shoot. With enough practice, you won't need sights, and might actually find them to be a hinderance (I do). Don't step off your shots, just pick a spot and shoot. This will get you ready for hunting and 3-D.
