    It won't change the accuracy, you need to spend a bit of time and ammo working out your drops at various distances.

    My 22 is zeroed at 50 as that is where i need it spot on for deerstalkers 4 position at 50. I have worked out where it shoots at various ranges (using known trees as distance markers from my deck!) So i can now headshoot mynahs and magpies out of the various trees confidently.

    75 would be a good distance for you, then work out where it is at 50 and 100, use a ballistics table to start but varify it on the range, then practice heaps, no substitute for lead down range and a 22 is cheap enough to shoot a shitload!

    Have fun!
