In my corner of Oregon, it's about 25-30 yards for tree squirrels and 50 yards (max) for ground squirrels. My .22WMR is sighted for 50 yards and it serves me well.
Edward hit the nail on the head pretty well...+1.
Go with Edward. Past 25-30 yards you will probably be hitting branches. +1 For Edward and BioGuy!
If by squrils you mean squirrels, I would sight in at about 25 yards since that is about the average shot.
20-30 yrds is usually about what I shoot in the woods.
I sight my .22 LR in for 50 yards.
about 20-35
