What would be the maximum range for relatively accurate shots for someone that is a relative novice? Looking for residenc defense. Need minimum 40'.

Find some place to practice defensive tactics. Throwing lead downrange punching paper from a target stance are not what these are for.

These are primarily for quick target acquisition. Not... I repeat not a "target" sight. The large front sight will make it hard to hit with pinpoint accuracy. Have these on both my G36 & 26 and am pleased with their functionality.

Hello Sax, I recently installed these on my glock 19. Great sights but these are fighting sights not target sights. I would say anything past 10 yards would be too far. The dot covers up too much of the target. They are however excellent sights for conceal carry. Hope this helps

The relative novice portion of your question causes me pause. If you can shoot the stock Glock sights well at 40', meaning that you are able to acquire a good sight picture, stay focused on the front sight, have good trigger control and follow through, then the big dot sights will do their part just fine for you. Otherwise, please seek some training with a qualified professional. They helped me alot.

15 yards or 45 feet is where we train from at the range, in comps I shoot my Glock 19 with big dots upwards to 25 yards accurately.

That will depend completely on practice and whatever training courses you have taken. Get training and accurate shots can become easy with practice.

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot &gt;6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

if you are using the M4 223 cal you can go out as far as 350 to 400 meters, anything past that is luck or you are a great shooter. I have them on mind and for the bucks they are worth the money. hope that help.

It depends on shooter skill, power of the rifle, and how good your eyes are, but realistically I think right around 250 yards your groups would be starting to get kinda wide.

maybe 30 ft chipmunks closer for squirrels basic rifle great for first time shooters for safety training an introduction to rifles

Very easy to site in. Put on my shotgun, used a bore sighter, and zeroed in at about 30 feet (maximum range and that would be a BIG room).I have not shot it since installing it, but I know it is NOT coming off, can let you know after I put 20 or so rounds thru it.

I wouldnt shoot anything less because the arrow will fly crazy after about thirty yards. From experience

At close range, sub 20 yards. I'd not try a racoon or possum though, unless you are ok with shooting it several times as if slowly dies.

Use the Allen keys that come with it and a bench rest. Make your adjustments at 30 FT or the distance they give you on a range. Checking your zero on the targets with live rounds. If you eyeball it at a shorter distance on a wall or whatever you be able to acquire the target mass faster but your going to need to fire the gun and move the laser as you go it's not hard. Most ranges have a wood block rest. Once you zero it in it's set check it from time to time make sure it's tight not over tight. Ok

Well dont be shocked, there are lots of guns that shoot well out past 50 yards and they are really quiet. I was shooting my buddies gun and we were shooting 4 inch groups at 60 yards easily. Not sure what his gun brand is though, I am going to get what he has since I know it works.

Good shooter in basement at 7 yards. May have a useful range of 10 or so but can't comment on theultimate distance a pellet might travel, if that is your issue.

Long Range is a relative term. Once the sight is sighted in it is accurate from 40-50 feet. But the fps is 880 so certainly models with 1000+ feet per second will be more accurate. For me, indoor winter shooting to "stay sharp" at shorter distances, this gun was actually worth the $60 I paid for it. To kill a squirrel from 90 feet, probably not so much.

Short answer: Yes! Once you get to know your gun and get it dialed in properly, 50yds shouldn't be a problem at all. I have at least 3 kills at that range. All rabbits, all head shots, all dropped and died within a few seconds. Above 55 - 60 yds, I don't know. Haven't done it.

If you can hit it (30- 40+ yards), you should kill it. How good a shot you are is a bigger decider ????

I have this trap set up in my pole barn at 30 foot. I use my pellet rifle most of the time to perfect my shooting skills, but could also use my 22 cal rifles. When my granddaughter wants to shoot, I move it outside at 50 yards and use different targets.

I'd say mine is accurate to within 40-50 feet. Good for a pistol or a shotgun, maybe a bull pub rifle. Outside that you can literally twist the sight and watch the red dot make a circle on the wall so I don't think they are very aligned within the housing. However at the distance I mentioned above you can get sighted in decently. Highly suggest if using to approximate the point of aim, that you follow up with a trip to a range to fine tune it.

It is decent at 30 to 40ft. Need a bigger IR for longer range. Try the bullet style for that
