Speaking of asking stupid questions... Siting in open sights?
OK, now I have figured this out before, but I dont like waisting so much ammo doing it. Looking down the barrel on open sights, which way to you move the front sight when the gun is shooting to the right of the bulls? I think that you move the front sight to the left if you need it to shoot further to the left, and the rear goes to the right if you need the gun to shoot left. But it seems that about every other time that I need to make corrections I get it wrong and burn a box of ammo trying to get it right. And lastly, what do you use to make your adjustments? A wooden screwdriver handle has been used by me, and on old beat up guns I have even used the back of a spent shell case. I know thats not right, and am just looking for some tips on making siting in open sights a bit more efficient and am looking for some good guidelines. Lol, growing up if it was just 6 inches off to the right at 50 yards I was taught to just aim a bit to the left of your target. I am sure that others have learned these bad habits as well, but myself I dont like doing that. Sorry for rambling.
