really only for close in work,50 to 100,, rabbits out to 50 max and goats out to 100. i have a burris red dot and have to have it on the second setting as the smallest dot is too hard to see during the day and your right, it covers a large area
you can spend a 1000 bucks on a red dot but its still a close in sight, great for scrub and shooting with both eyes open
