Zeroing rifle out doors

[TonyL]

I need my rifle zeroed but only have a chance out doors tonight or possibly tomorrow wind to be 8mph
My zero is 25 yards
Could I zero closer and get the left right sorted then take the elevation up to get 25

You have it in your last line.

Zero at 25 yards, then move in to around 15 yards to fine tune the windage.

I would agree with post No2.

Is what I'd be doing.

Can you set up your zeroing so that the wind is directly behind you, or in your face? That will help to keep the drift to a minimum. A steady broadside 8mph wind from muzzle to target can move a pellet from a 12ft.lb rifle about an inch sideways at 25 yards.

I've just learnt that.
Didn't take many decades.

Well thanks for all the tips
Wind was not to bad zeroed at 10 yards then moved out to 25.
Then did all my aim points 8 to 45 yards
An enjoyable day plinking about
