The guy was partly right. I just think you were both talking about different things. If you're aiming at the bullseye, and you shoot a group 6" to the right, then you technically do "follow the miss". That is, if you were looking through the scope and having someone else turn the dials you would start with the crosshairs in the middle and move them until they covered your group. Your friend would be turning the dial to move the point of impact to the left but you would be seeing the crosshairs move to the right. That would theoretically put the new point of impact over the bull. If you're turning the dials yourself then you would turn the dials to move the point of impact rather than follow the miss.
