If your crosshairs are dead on at 20 then holding your crosshairs on center shoot a group at 50 and then turn your speed ring until your 50 yard mark on the scope intersects with the 50 yard group.

turn your speed ring to slower fps that will raise the impact at 50 yds and leaves your 20 yard sight-in as it is
