Huh, I thought red meant they were out of range... but that's the sweet spot. Very good to know, thanks.

Yes red means they are out of range, but you're only using the red on Quick Nock as a gauge to find the distance you're at. the max range for Quick Nock is 12y. Once Quick Nock turns from blue to red, you know you're at 12y from your target, then you know you only need to take a few more steps backwards to be at 15y
