I zero in at 15 yards and find myself good up to 35 yards without having to change anything. Of course I'm shooting Steel Challenge where the targets are large so an inch or two isn't going to affect me.

I use a laser to rough it in then this benchrest to zero at 25 yards with three bullets.
Then confirm at different distances.
I like a 25 yard zero personally for handguns because it makes it clearer to me where the actual group center is.
There had been times previously that I thought I was zeroed at 10 or 15 but when I pushed it out to 25 it was clear the windage was off.
I really like doing 10yard !
I used to always zero at 25, but when I started playing around with the IDPA 5X5 Classifier, I found that a 10 yard zero provides a great zero that might only need fine tuning at 25. So, I suppose I found I prefer a 10 yard zero accidentally! But it works quite well.
Like many have already said 10 yards, which seems to be the butter zone for a lot of the USPSA stages I encounter. Also, it's about as far as I can easily see the target to make adjustments.
18 yds for a 92 LTT RDO
50 yds for a Tanfo Stock2
I posed the same question back when m4carbine . net had SME forums with LAV, Pat McNamara, Kyle DeFoor, etc. The result was unanimous: 25 yards.
I've gone with that ever since. The difference at 10 yards is tiny.

Originally, I went with an initial at 10 yards & refine at 25 yds. After the Sig Academy instructor class and seeing/confirming the numbers, I switched to a 15yd zero.
