There are a couple of schools of thought on that question...
1) 6 o'clock hold where the target sits on top of the front siight
2) modified where the bead cuts part (1/2) of the target
3) cover the target

Target shooting paper is, in my mind, one thing shooting animals is another. If you know the size of your bead you will know the moa at 100 yards - how many inches does the bead cover at a 100. Good shooters - target shooters know this. If you are shooting an official target at a given range with a given weapon the 10 ring will be a given size.

To be honest with you I am working hard to master the 6:00 when shooting at paper but in real life I can not help but fall back to a modified - I want the bullet to hit where I am looking. I am not good at judging sizes of the target at ranges so I hold on the bead on the animal where I want the bullet to hit. If he/she were wearing a bright target for me I might be able to master the 6:00. 80% of my shots are with scopes and my mind functions on the thought where the cross-hairs or bead is that's where the bullet should go. I adjust for range, if needed,by the depth the of the front sight into/or out of the V or U in my case of the rear site - but the bead stays on the POI.

I actually do not knowif this is correct but it has worked for me for seems like a 1000 years.

Hope I have not lead you down the wrong path..
