A squirrel at about 20 yards. A pig with a 30-30 Marlin 336 at about 50 yards. That's about it, I preferred a peep over open sights back when I hunted without a scope.

Nowadays, I can't do the focus change from front sight to target anymore, so I hunt mostly with a scope. The exception is turkey hunting. I can't focus on the front sight, but I have fiber optic sights on my turkey shotgun and I can still put the red blur between the two green blurs well enough to hit a stationary target at 40 yards with a shotgun.
