    There was a poll a while back. You might be able to find it with a search.

    Zero at whatever distance you want, based on what seems logical for your ballistics, optics, and target species. E.g. no point zeroing a 3-9x40 on a 22lr 3" high at 100m to go bunny shooting, like you might with a 270 for deer hunting. You'll be too high or low at most ranges for a target that small.
    I believe the o.p is asking about archery hunting distance, as this I posted in the archery section of the forum
    Scott Cowan and Arced like this.
