870 slug problems

I've been sighting in my 20 ga. 870 express with slug barrel and can't get my shots to come up. I have the sights as low as they'll go and still shoot 7 inches low at 50 yards. I get great groups but can't get them where I want to them. Anyone have an idea what the problem is? I've been shooting Winchester 2 3/4 Sabots.

You raise the rear blade to make your shots go higher. You lower if shots are too high.

Just a shot in the dark here.

I guess you're right. I've been lowering the rear sight the whole time. Boy do I feel stupid. I guess I'm stuck on sighting in my bow.

You know I know alot of people having trouble with this. Here's the way I think of it. I think of it very exaggerated. In other words, I think of it, if I was wanting to shoot the furthest and hit the highest, my gun would be at a 45 degree angle pointing up, but wouldhave to raise my sight a whole foot, but if I wanted to hit the ground right in front of me, I can't lower my blade enough.

Same with bow. Except opposite.
