To answer your question, I've never had to adjust my airsoft guns' (plural) sights.
Better translation, once zero'd you leave it no matter the distance, just compensate visually if farther than the general reach of your ammo.

You make it sound (to new ears) like zeroing a sight or scope isn't worth the effort or something.
