Default Scope ?

I recently put a scope on my G/F's muzzloader. My ? is, the dials on the scope. One says up, the other says left. When I turn these, Is it that the crosshairs go up or left, or is it bullet impact. Just curious on what exactly am I moving.
thanks

Should be your bullets impact,if it says up your point of impact will be moved up,if it says left that is the way your impact should move.

The adjustment of the up or left is for POI (point of impact).

Yeah adjustments are for where the bullet will hit or POI. Make sure you check the distance you are shooting for how many clicks are need to correct the POI, usually 1/4 inch clicks at 100yds.
