If I'm adjusting the rear sight, I move it opposite the last POI. It's the same thing as saying you move the front sight the opposite way you want the next bullet to go, and the rear sight the same direction you want the next bullet to go, just a different way of saying it.

It's true that with most guns, you don't move the front sight when sighting in. Not so with the M14, the rifle I shoot most. For windage, the rear sight is ALWAYS to be left at zero when sighting it, so it can be adjusted for...you guessed it...ACTUAL windage when the need arises. You adjust the front sight when you are zeroing the gun.
old school long range ehhh?
