When sighting in shotgun with deer slugs & it shoots to the right, which way do you move the rear sight?

Sighting in Fixed Sight Guns





1. Make sure your gun is in good condition and that you have the appropriate ammunition for the firearm.





2. Place your target at the range you want to site in at, make sure you have an adequate backstop, to prevent stray bullets from causing damage.





3. Shoot a group of at least three shots from as steady of a rest as you can. From this group move your rear site in the direction you want the group to move, move the sight up to move your group up, move the sight left to move the group left. If you can't move the rear sight left or right, you will need to move the front sight (Winchester 94 has a fixed rear site for windage). When moving a front sight, if you move the sight left your bullet moves right, and vise versa.





4. Shoot another group and continue changing your sights until you are satisfied with your group placement.When sighting in shotgun with deer slugs %26amp; it shoots to the right, which way do you move the rear sight?
Shooting Low? Lower Front Sight or Raise Rear Sight


Shooting High? Raise Front Sight or lower Rear Sight


Shooting Left? Move Frint Sight to Left or Move Rear to Right.


Shooting Right? Move Front Sight to Right or Rear to Left.





Remember the Front Sight ALWAYS chases the shot and the Rear Sight ALWAYS runs away fron the shot!When sighting in shotgun with deer slugs %26amp; it shoots to the right, which way do you move the rear sight?
Move your rear sight to the right. To figure this out, over exaggerate in your mind...if you put the rear sight 10 feet to the right, your eye would be looking down the barrel and be shooting way to the left, and if you move your sight way to the left, you would be shooting furthur to the right. Good luck hunting!
