gun shoot lower is just the opposite — move the elevator
forward. Remember:
• Move the blade and holder up to shoot higher.

screws that secure the blade to the blade holder and then
moving the blade up or down as desired. The screws are
then retightened.
R IGHT OR LEFT WINDAGE ADJUSTMENTS —
On most Model 94 sights, the entire rear sight blade hold-

windage, gently move the rear sight blade to the right or

done. Note how much you adjust the sight as you sight-in
your Model 94. Remember:
• Move the rear sight to the right to shoot farther to the
right on the target.
• Move the rear sight to the left to shoot farther to the
left on the target.

attaching screws or bend sight components when adjust-
ments are made.
The front sight bead is also held in a dove-tail mount on
the sight base. It is possible to make windage adjustments
by tapping it to one side or the other, just like the rear
base. Remember, when adjusting the front sight you get
the opposite results: move to the right and you shoot
more to the left, move the bead to the left and you’ll
