    Hi Rod.
    .177 35 yds.
    .22 25 yds.
    I think in general is a good idea to zero at a range where no "hold under" is needed to hit the kill zone, then the only thing you need to worry about is the "hold over", the above examples are ABOUT right on this.

    I set mine at about 20 metres as I am not confident enough to get a humane head shot at any further, till I am a bit more experienced/confident. I control pigeons and the odd squirrel but no rabbits so obviously smaller heads swaying around on branches in the wind is harder than a rabbit sitting in the field.

    I would like to have a bit more time and maybe a range closer to home to have a bit more practice time.
