Yes, up means up and down means down. If your shots are 2" low and 1" left and you want a direct hit on the bull, on most scopes you would go 8 clicks up and 4 clicks right at 100 yards. If you are shooting 50 yards than it would be 16 and 8 clicks. At 200 it would be 4 and 2 clicks. If your scope does not have click adjustments but has friction adjustments, guess.
