Sight it in at what your average shot distance will be, say if 40m then go back and check at 25m and see how high the poi is there and account for this (hold under) when you hunting under your sighted distance. For longer distance you will hold over (great if your scope has mill dots or ref) also before you sight in make sure all the stock screws are tight (2 at the front and 1 behind the trigger) and make sure the scope mounts are tight too!
