I only practice comparable to the shots I normally take. 1000 yards for varmints, 2000 yards for deer, and only out to 500 yards or so for squirrels, and other small game. Of course all shots are fired offhanded or sometimes from a running horse. This is for handgun hunting. Most shots are point shot as well. I never did see the need for sights.

I tend to double those yardges for rifles![&:]
