sight help

[GUNFIGHTER01]

Ok guys i just bought a Remington R1 Enhanced. I took it out for its first trip to the range last week and i have to say over all the gun did great. The only problem with it was that it was shooting 2 to 3 inches to the left of my point of aim.

That being said the gun has adjustable front and rear sights. I know that u can move the rear sight in the direction u want the bullet to go and thats one way to adjust the sights but what i dont know is what direction to move the front sight. Do u move it the opposite way to get the bullet to go they way u want or move it like u would the rear sight?

Any help u guys give will be greatly appreciated!

I can't offer too much help, as I don't know you or how you shoot. Are you relatively experienced with a pistol? Here's some common errors made when shooting, and how they affect shot placement.

You move the rear sight the same way you want the hits on the target to move. You are shooting left, so you want the hits to go right. Move the REAR sight to the right.

Did you bench shoot to help eliminate errors and arc of motion? Always bench shoot before you move the sights!

Since the front is not easily movable I would work with the rear unless it's really off. I would imagine that it's pretty close, you may just be anticipating a little.

I believe the front goes opposite direction of rear. that would make sense from a physics standpoint. I would jsut change the rear one first...see if it makes a difference. i did on my MP...and now it's dead on.
