Title: Sighted in for muzzy opener(would you adjust anything)
Post by: rotty33 on September 23, 2014, 03:10:24 PM: Took 3 shots @ 60 yards. Looks to be the right elevation for 100. I am shooting a .50 caliber, 2 pyrodex pellets and a .245 grain powerbelt copper sabot. Wondering if this is good or if I should move my sight to shoot a tad more right. (Which way would I move my rear sight by the way) I am pumped for the opener this Saturday!!

Move rear sight in the same direction you want the bullet to move.

If you are aiming for a center shot, as it is, your shots will keep getting farther and farther to the left the longer the distance to the target if you don't make any change.

Hold up your two index fingers like a front and rear sight. You can visualize which way to move the sights.
