I suggest entering your rifle and ammo data into the Optimum Point Blank Zero calculator, here:

There’s a good write up on the AirHog Blog:

What is Optimum Point Blank Zero? It’s the fine art of zeroing your air rifle or air pistol at the range that will give you the greatest span of ranges at which a directly aimed shot will produce a point of impact close enough to “get the job done.” Getting the job done, of course, might involving knocking down a field target, taking small game, or something else.
Using this program, I decided to zero my Condor at 65 yards – and when shooting Kodiaks, this gives me a useful, nikel-sized kill zone on any target I center the reticle on from 17 yards out to 73 yards…

For the most part I go for the The highest point of trajectory but Condor is set at 40yards with the high flow tank.
30 yds
If you know the speed you are shooting you can use this software program at http://www.chairgun.com/ to find your trajectories. It is set up for air guns and it has alot of different pellets already set up in the software. I will be setting up my zero at the apex of the trajectory.
Make your zero the distance you shoot at most of the time. Then if you shoot closer or further than that distance you can compensate by adjusting your elevation or using holdover.
30 yards
50 yds for me shoothing Kodiaks at 1025 fps.
i always sight in at 20 yrd its a good midle of flight

0’ed at 20 yards which is also 40 yards (it peaks at about 30 yards).
the peak is only 1/2 a mill dot so its easy to play with
