So.... you'd aim at the bullseye at 25 yards and adjust your scope until the bullet strikes around and inch and half below the bullseye (point of aim). Done. Do the same with a 50yd zero at 25yds... or whatever zero you'd like. It's a bit more precise zeroing at the further distance, but it'll be close enough for your hunting purposes. Or at least to initially zero and then confirm when you get to your outdoor range.

Cheers.
I was actually thinking about doing that. With the 50 yard zero, the POI at 25 yards is 1.2". That should not be too hard to duplicate.
