I have a crosman fury 2 blackout (Springer) with the stock 4/32 scope the farthest I shoot would be about 100ft if you can give me some tips it would be much appreciated thanks

I zero the majority of my springers at 25 yards.

25 yards

Zero the scope at the distance you use most.

Hey ezman604 is it easy to convert a Springer to a np?
-
Download a copy of "Chairgun" and play with your ballistics. It will actually calculate the best distance to zero your rifle to maximize the "kill zone".
-
Set your POI zero distance, i.e., 10 yards, and Chairgun Pro will will show you the trajectory and closest to furtherest distances your pellet will be within + or - 1" above or below the POI. Hope that's not too confusing.

Depends on the airgun. Will generally need parts bought or made to be able make the switch.

+1 And dont be afraid of changing it...
My .22 is normally sighted at 50 yards... but in the rook season it sighted in to hit 1½" low at 30yards as all shots are taken in +45°..
My .25 is sighted in at 90 yards...

After zeroing my .177 R9 at 30 yards for YEARS I started zeroing at 27 yards at the recommendation of my brother who found that 27 yards was a better zero for our purposes.
Anywhoo......the purpose of my zero distance is to have the zero very close to the apex of the pellet flight. I only use "holdover aiming" and the 27 yard zero means that I only have to learn "hold OVER" distance without also remembering "hold UNDER". LOL.....there is some reason to my madness! :o

LOL
Okay....I sight my .25 MRods in at 50 yards.
I sighted my .25 Condor SS in at 70 yards.
I sighted my .22 Super Streak at 27 yards.
I sighted my .177, .22 & .25 Discos at 35 yards.
I sighted in my 760 PumpMaster at 15 yards.
HeeHee
I agree with the statement that you should sight your scope in at the distance you will be doing MOST of your shooting.
But the OP stated he was sighting in a Fury II. And as a medium powered springer, I'd again say zero at 25 yards as a rule of thumb. OR the range at which you do most of your shooting. I zero almost all of my springers at 25 yards. Then adjust from there depending on approximate target distance.

If you have access to a chrony then download chairgun and take a look at trajectories for the pellet you are using and it will let you know which make the most sense.
or make three targets about quarter size at about 20-25-30 yards use same sight pic (no Kentucky windage) and figure out from there.

Consult ChairGun, using their recommended zero for your rifle and pellet, with a 0.5" Kill Zone size.... That will keep your POI with 1/4" of the POA over the ranges shown....

X2... Use ChairgunPro, for the best flexibility. Use the pellet's Arc, and 2 zero points, to your advantage.
I have a similar powered rifle zeroed at 18 yards. That gives you quick "crosshairs on" from 16 - 38 yards. You'll also get a good idea of pellet drop, out past these ranges. A very neat program...that's FREE!
Handy for hunting and a 1/2" killzone is more accurate than "I" am offhand ;)

I put it a 20 yeards thanks for all the help
-
Since you max shooting distance is ~ 100 feet, 33 yards, I would go a little closer to allow you to have a longer zero area or kill zone, this will allow you to put targets at different distances and Not have to adjust. So lets say you setup for 15~18yd zero, that should give you nearly no hold under and very little hold over out to your 33 yard max range...

Thanks I'll give that a try
