Sight question

Gun is a TC Encore 20" Turkey 12 gauge.
The Point of Impact is high and I have bottomed the rear sight (no more adjustment).
Question: Would a taller front sight fix this problem or do I need a shorter sight?

Bcarver: A taller front sight will lower the point of impact.

ok

That is what I thought. I already replaced the sight with a tall one.
I got close but still high.

I would check with TC to see if they've got any kind of update on the sight? If yours hits high, it can't be the only one.

update

TC was helpful. My sight was .45" high and they are sending a .47" free of charge.
This was one of the first barrels sent out and I am sure there was a mix up.
Turkey season is in 2 weeks and this is a new rig.
I could hunt with it as is but what it closer to point of impact.
On a bright note it patterns well.
