i agree that you can be pretty accurate out to 100 yards. i would recommend that you start at 25 yards to make sure you are on the target, then go to 50 yards, then out to 100. if you start shooting at 100 yards and your scope is not sighted in you will have no idea where you are shooting and can waste a lot of ammo. check the scope often to make sure it stays tight, 12 guage has a tendency to shake the crosshairs loose on a cheap scope.
