Where I need to hold on the the chickens. I then adjust at each animal as I go out. For me personally I found it too difficult to be consistent trying to hold over or under. Especially if trying to use one sight setting to do all 4 animals.

I zero each of my silhouette guns for each distance....50--100--150--200, scopes and iron sights. I then hold the same on each target, a 6 o'clock hold. I have settings for each gun in yards and meters because some ranges are in yards and some are in meters. If your intentions are to zero at one distance and then hold over or under for the remaining targets, I would advise against it.
