I keep it to 25 yards because I use a single pin and peep sight. Its dead on out to 20 yards and I'll hold a hair high at 25. Thats the same set up as my regular bow so I'm pretty comfortable with that. Tried using scopes and red dots and had 4 break in one year but thats a different story. When I used a 3 red dot scope I was very comfortable out to 40 yards on targets but I kept hunting shots to 30 yards because of the noise and time it took the arrow to get there. Seemed like it asking for a deer to jump the string. Just my opinion.
