Dumb question?

Also being an archery shooter, the rear sight is a peep that isn't moveable once tied in so the front sight pins are the only thing that can be moved to sight in.
It was taught to me when I first started to "follow your arrow" when sighting in. Arrow hits high, move pin up. Arrow hits left, move sight left. So that is how I remember and the same can be used for a rifle.
Just remember that the front sight needs to follow your bullet. Bullet hits right, move front sight right.
Then it's just a matter of remembering that the rear sight is the opposite.
Perhaps that will help some to remember which is which?

That's exactly the reason I remember which site to move. Grew up doing a lot of archery shooting.
