I set my scope for a 25 yard far zero as that seems to be the range that I use most of the time. Near zero is approximately 12/13 yards for my HW95 .22 using H&N FTT 14.66 pellets.
35 yards and work on ypur POI's for short and long
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
Learning the holdover and under for your particular scope at the magnification you use will be far more use than the zero but an average between the two will usually work best.
Good advice from angrybear about getting a ballistics calculator app.
To give an example my Falcon .177 zeroed at 29 yards, on 7x magnification gives a near zero at 13 yards.
At 20 yards it needs about a quarter mil hold under.
Hold over of half, one, and one and a half mil dots work out at 37, 44, and 51 yards.
Of course scope height, pellet weight, and velocity are the variable factors for your particular set up.
get chairgun and play...
I always went for 32 yards as it gave a loverly PBR of 13-34 yards where the pellet would land within 1/4" of my aimpoint. Job done.

Unfortunately Hawke stopped supporting Chairgun at the end of 2018, so I'm not sure if it can still be downloaded, it's not on their updated site.
looks to still be here, down the bottom of the page, under legacy version downloads:
