This is when trying to set sights, kind of all over.

First time using the ladder sight, it was a new experience for sure.

With mine I shoot 50 yds with the ladder down and just the regular rear notch. 100 yds is ladder up and leave the slider at the base if no wind, and up a little if it's breezy. I have hit the 200 yd board and got on a 12" target but it ain't pretty....The graduated scale out to 500+ yds....that wold be a stretch for sure. Rainbow trajectory.
