Default Hornady LEVERevolution ballisics question

The hornady sight ballistics table for the LEVERevolution 30-30 in 160gr shows the trajectory at the muzzle to be -1.70. (In another chart, it shows -1.5) I am assuming they are assuming I have a scope mounted. I have the Model 94 with Williams iron sights, no scope. So . . . how do I modify the 100 yd, 200 yd long range trajectories to accomodate my no-scope gun?
I can't just subtract 1.7" can I? Wouldn't it be logrythmic the farther the shot?

find a trajectory calculator...and put in .5" as the scope height or 0", though whatever the rifle sights height is would be most accurate...

I'd say .5" would be my guess.

go here, input your data use .5 for sight/scope height, or take the actual measurement

RR . . . that website link is awesome. I'm saving that!
FYI, I measured from the center of front sight to center of muzzle and it is .75". So the bullet is coming out of the muzzle .75" below front sight bead.
I would not have thought it was that much!
