Great chart. The way I always remember it, is that the Rear sight is Right, but the Front sight is Fouled up.

That is if you move the rear sight to the right, the bullet hits to the right. If you move the rear sight up, the bullet hits higher.

But the Front sight is just the opposite (fouled up.)

If you move the Front sight to the right, the bullet hits to the left. If you move the front sight down, the bullet hits higher.

Hey , I am new to shooting so I do appreciate that little "Rear Sight is Right and the Front Site is Fouled up."

Thanks for the little sayings that stick in our heads!!

OR, you can remember "FORS" - Front/Opposite, Rear/Same as far as moving the point of impact. I agree, very good chart....
