    I will test out to 150m because the sights might be good for that if needed and useful to know for follow up shots

    White blade sight was hard to use on light target background in the longer shots
    But should be ok on a red deer
    And blade looks wider than the bull at 95m

    So make the bull wider, it's only about 50 mm, double the size or maybe even triple it. The target area on a deer shoulder is about 200 mm at any range
