If your shot is right from your target using both sights facing directly at your target, the rear sight should be moved left or front sight should be moved right. If your shot is left from your target using both sights facing directly at your target, the rear sight should be moved right or the front sight should be moved left. Always remember: Move the rear sight in the same direction you want your point of impact to move & your front sight the opposite direction you want POI to move. If your shot is below (needs to be higher) your target using both sights facing directly at your target, the rear sight should be moved higher or your front sight should be moved lower. If your shot is above (needs to be lower) your target using both sights facing directly at your target, the rear sight should be moved lower or your front sight should be moved higher. In reality, it generally takes a number of shots to establish a group, then the sights are adjusted to move the line of sight closer to the group, and the process is repeated iteratively until the sights are correctly aligned. Theoretically, this can be done with a single shot-clamp the firearm into a vise, fire one shot, then adjust the sights so they are pointing at the hole in the target. If the sights are not aligned correctly, then the sights should be adjusted to bring the line of sight to meet the point of impact.
