This subject comes up now and again and I always go to a person that has done extensive reserch on the very subject.
"For tree squirrels, I would move the zero range back to 50 yards. That would give you virtually no rise at mid range, and your drop at 75 yards would be less than 2 inches. Lethal hits on tree squirrels beyond 75 yards are pretty "iffy" at best."
