Well, I finally got to take my AR to the range for the first time today. It was definitely fun to shoot. Even with .223 it had more pop than I was expecting. An older gentleman came over to ask if he could have my brass. I said he could, he thanked me and we got to talking. Before I left he gave me a copy of the New Testament (he's a Gideon). Quite a little red-state moment there
Anyway, my question is on the proper alignment of the peep-hole type sights on the AR. I was trying to center my target in the rear (hole) sight, with the front sight on a 6 o'clock hold. It shot good groups, but low. So I move up the rear sight a few clicks. Same sight picture, same result. Still shooting low, and in the same place.
Am I using the proper sight picture? Is my sight adjustment messed up?
