I have a 7" .223 pistol and am having a bit of difficulity getting the sights zeroed.  It's likely to be mostly me and not the weapon that's causing the problem.

I'm using a 25m zero target.  The groups are fairly consistant but they seem to be all over the place; one time the group is high left, then low right, etc.

Can someone please tell me;

1.  If the actual point of impact on the target is high, should I turn the front sight to move the actual sight itself lower or higher?

2.  If the actual point of impact is too far left, should I turn the windage adjustment to move the actual sight itself to the left or the right?

3.  Should I be using the larger apature or the smaller one?

4.  What setting should I use on the elevation wheel on the rear sight?

Thanks !!!!!

1. move the sight lower to raise point of impact and move it higher to lower your point of impact.

2. move it left to move poi left and right to poi right

3. smaller one
