How far will you shoot with open sights?

I know to practice shooting longer distances to see how far you can shoot, but how far would ya'll shoot with open shots.

With the way my eyes have been lately, 100 yds is probably as far as I can shoot.

I guess it would depend on what I was shooting...if I was practicing and participating in 200-300 yardmatches with appropriate sizetargets I'd shoot those distances;

If I was hunting withmy.58cal, had strong lighting,a rock solid rest, not hurried, I wouldn't hesitate to take a standing broadside deer at 150yds.

To date, the longest open sight muzzleloader shot I've ever had to take was70yds with a .54cal, complete pass through.
