Range in Distance

What is the best distance to set zero for Field target shooting 10.34gr sub 12ft/lb.

In this photo you can see from left to right how the pellets rise from 10 yards out to zero - yard by yard. The arrow point indicates point of aim. The second row is 21, 22 and 23 yards. I shot twice at 23 because I doubted my trigger pull.

First get on paper shooting at 10 yards so you can get close. Ideally your POI will be 1.5 to 2” low from your future zero point so - Shoot your gun every yard from 10 yards out - somewhere around 20-25 yards your arc / trajectory will flatten out for at least 15-25 yards depending on pellet weight and speed. Go back to the start of your flat/leveling point near 20-25 yards and zero there. Then go out to 35 yards and shoot every yard out to 55 yards to create a dope chart for holdovers- try to avoid creating hold unders. Just my thoughts.View attachment 348895

That's the POI idea! Great representation.
