[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 452897, member: 307"] They are just that simple. They "move" your bullets point of impact in the direction indicated. They actually align your sight picture with your rifle's bore. He may have been telling you that you were actually moving the crosshairs in the opposite direction, which you are. Try this someday; with the rifle in a solid rest (i.e. lead-sled or fixed platform) shoot your rifle at 100yds. Your point of aim (poa) is the dot in the center of the paper. Your point of impact (poi) is actually where your bullet landed on the paper. For this explanation lets say it landed 2" left and 2" high of the poa. If you keep your crosshairs on the poa (the dot) and slowly turn your adjustment knob in the direction needed to align the poi and dot (in this case right and down) the crosshairs will actually "walk" out to the poi, and in effect go the opposite direction indicated on the knob. This is the method used when "sighting in your rifle with two bullets". It may confuse you a little at first but when you wrap your mind around it and grasp the concept it all becomes a little clearer. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
