9.3 elevation (up/down) adjustment
There are different height combinations available for
the front and rear sights. The sights are numbered
according to their height. you can change elevation
by changing either the rear or front sight. it’s easier if
you change the rear sight first.
each rear sight change will move the impact of the
bullet approximately 2” at 25 yards.
each front sight change will move the impact of the
bullet approximately 1” at 25 yards.
When changing sights, remember this rule: nuMBerS uP, grouPS uP;
nuMBerS doWn, grouPS doWn. This is true for both front & rear sights.
