I originally thought that I would have to move the rear sight down and to the left. I didn't want to waste the expensive Nitros so that is why I asked the question. I moved the rear sight to the left & downand got the results that I was looking for.

Thanks guys, I didnt mean to start anything here.

Ain't it funny how many opinions you can get.... I just know what works for me....

I know if I move the site to the left I then move the front of my barrel to the left to get it back on center, thereby moving my aim to the left... Seems kinda simple.

When adjusting open sights, always move the rear sight in the direction you want the bullet to move. For instance, if your bullet lands to the left of the aiming point, move the rear sight to the right. If the bullet lands below the aiming point, move the rear sight up. Adjustments for the front sight are the opposite; move the front sight to the left, and the bullet’s impact will shift to the right.

Rebel what you said is absolutely correct for a gun, as for sighting in a bow your pin should always be adjusted to follow the arrow. example if your arrow is hitting high and left you move your pin up and left. always follow your arrow to sight in your bow.

Yep, and that's what he's talking about, patterning a gun.

Doing that backwards stuff can be very confusing. I know I can't back up with a trailer hitched up to save my soul.
