Just guessing, but if it's "on" at 100, standard velocity 22LR will probably be 6-7" high at 50 (which I consider to be "squirrel" range.)

The highest point would be somewhere near 75-80 yards, where it might be 9-10" high. Then dropping rapidly down to "zero" at 100, and off the charts after that.

I hunt a lot of ground squirrels with a 22LR, but I use high-velocity stuff. I like a zero at 75 yards. I'll be 2-3" high at 50 yards and only about 4" low at 100. That's about as far as I can hit a ground squirrel offhand more than 50% of the time - when it isn't windy.
