Sighting In My Muzzy

[BLACK3]

So I know I am currently shooting slightly low and 6 inches to the right. Correct me if I am wrong. I belive I should be moving my rear sight to the right to move the muzzle left. Am I right or wrong. Also drop the rear sight to lift the muzzle? Help

you need to move the rear sight in the direction you want the ball to move. If you are shooting right move the sight left, if you are shooting left move the sight right. For elevation it works the same, move the rear sight up to raise bullet impact, and lower it to decrease bullet impact.

slightly low

Raise the sight,, to lower the impact.

6 inches to the right.

Move the sight to the left.

Depending on what type of sight set up you have you may need to lower the front sight to raise the point of impact. I take a file to the range and file and shoot remove it slowly! Geo. T.

Raise the sight,, to lower the impact.

With all due respect, raising a rear sight will also raise the point of impact, not lower it.

I am siding with lorren on this. Move the rear sight in the same direction you want the group to move.................watch yer top knot.............

Thank you, you are correct.
I had a brain fart whilst typing,,

To be honest, I have the basic instructions for adjustable iron sights written inside my shooting boxes, and refer to it every time I need to make an adjustment.
It goes like this;

If the guns shoot's (the group is) to the Right,,
,,,,,,,,Adjust the Rear sight to the Left.

If the gun shoot's Left,,
,,,,,,,,Adjust the Rear sight to the Right.

If the gun shoots (the group is) Low,,
,,,,,,,,Elevate (raise) the Rear sight.

If the Gun shoot's High,,
,,,,,,,,Lower the Rear sight.

Now all that only works IF the front sight is the proper hight to allow the rear to adjust. If the desired aiming point can't be achieved within the range of the rear sight then the front needs to be either taller or filed down.
For all the shooting I do I could just as easy have fixed rear sights, I never touch'm after their set, :idunno:
