Default First shots with Tracker II

Finally got to put some shells through the new gun. I should first let you know that I added weight before even shooting assuming that it would kick hard. I bought a 3/4" x 8" bolt and cut the head off. taped the ends for a tighter fit, and replaced the pad. Still kicks -- basically didn't think it was too bad at the time, but as the day has wore on, I'm noticing some residual effects from the 10 shots. Results were informative but not necessarily impressive. 2/10 were dead on in the kill zone. Another 5 would have killed the deer(eventually) --3 in neck, 2 in shoulder. The other 3 would have seriously hobbled the deer. I shot 3 off the bench, but tube was too loud for me, so I shot the rest standing. Basically, the gun was shooting low and to the right. I figure the "right" is a mechanics problem with the shooter, but, I assume I can fix the "low" by adjusting the rear sight. So (newbie question coming here!) which way do I move the rear sight?
