Scope Dyslexia!!!! HELP!
 
I still have a time remembering if the "up" adjustment on a scope moves the bullet up/down to the crosshairs, or moves the crosshairs up/down to the bullet??!!

I call it scope dyslexcia.

The adjustments move the bullet impact point.
Moving UP will result in the bullet striking higher on target.

...has nothin to do with American, has everything to do with physics of light. Thats just the way it works. Unless you got your scope 90 degrees off.

...or if your sight in target is at the very end of your barrel, then the image is reversed, so THEN it is backwards.

when you turn the elevation knob up , it moves the crosshairs internaly down in the field of view, this forces you to raise the rifle muzzle up to get the crosshairs back on point of aim, thus raising the point of impact.

up/dwn is the change in bullet impact.

This is why, when sighting in a gun using the "move the crosshairs to the bullet hole" procedure, you turn the adjustment arrows in the OPPOSITE direction of what they say...

Now thats confusing me. LOL
So when I bore sight in a gun with a bore sighter how do I adjust to get a high hit at 100 yds. do I put the cross hairs low or high on the graph.
