2. So for instance im 3" Low (of target) Do I move my sight (Slider) up?


Thanks IA
So all the adjustment is made at the rear sight. (I think this is where some were getting confused.
The rear sight is always moved in the direction you want the POI (point of impact) to move.
So if you're hitting 3" to left, you want to move the POI and the rear sight to the right. If you're hitting 3" low you must move the POI and the rear sight up.
There are some sights that have the front sight on a dovetail for side to side (ie:windage) adjustment. In ths case you move the sight in the direction you are off. If it is left, you move the front sight left.
