    How to sight in ARMS flip up rear site?

    Just got a new Stag upper with the ARMS flip up rear site. Hitting up the range this weekend and want to site this badboy in but did not get a manual with it. Soooooo I am taping the great well of wisdom that is Calguns and humbly request some help with either how to or where to look.
    Thanks

    Adjust the rear sight up if you are shooing low and move it down if you are shooting high.

      Rule of thumb is

      F ront
      O pposite
      R ear
      S ame

      So if you are adjusting the rear sight you move the sight in the direction you want the bullet impact to move. If you are shooting low move the sight UP
      If you are shooting right Move the sight to the right
      In any type of fight, & especially gun fights, there are no winners ..... just varying degrees of losers. The only fight you win is the one you never get into.

        Be sure to flip it UP first. Works better that way.

          NO NO NO

          You do NOT adjust the rear sight for elevation. You adjust it ONLY for windage.

          The front sight is for elevation adjustment.

            So if you are adjusting the rear sight you move the sight in the direction you want the bullet impact to move. If you are shooting low move the sight UP
            If you are shooting right Move the sight to the right

            Just a small typo I think in the above... if you're shooting right (to the right of the bullseye/target) move the sight LEFT, i.e. the same direction you want your bull impact to move.
