After taking my first AR out and shooting a few hundred rounds I had a question about the sights. In order to get it to shoot accurately I had to raise the rear sight to it's highest position just to get it accurate at 25 yards. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

You know the front sight is adjustable for elevation too, right?

You shouldn't use the rear sight to adjust elevation for sighting in. Bottom it out and make elevation adjustments with the front. Rear's for windage.

Once it's zeroed, you can use the elevation marks on the rear sight for hitting targets out at 400m, 500m, 600m.

I did not know that. Thanks so much. I feel like a tool now.
