How do you adjust the sight?

In: Firearms [Edit categories]

Answer:

Well, it depends on the type of sights. For open sights(no scope) if the bullet hits to le left of where you are aiming, move the rear sight to the right. If the bullet hits high, move the rear sight down. If you have a scope, when the bullet hits left, use a coin to twist the knob on the side of the scope clockwise and if its hitting high, twist the knob counter-clockwise.
