You push your finger the way you want the group to go.

It doesn't take much. To determine how far to adjust one's sight, you divide the sight radius by the distance in inches. That is how much you move your sight to move the impact 1 MOA.

So lets say you have a 3 inch sight radius, and you are shooting 25 yards. 25 yards is 900 inches. Divide 3/900 = .003333

Lets say you are off 6 inches at 25 yards. That is 24 MOA, 24 X .003333 is .0833.

Meaning, all you have to do is to push (or pull) the gun .0833 to get it off 6 inches at 25 yards.

Two little finger on the trigger causes you to push (to the left for a right handed shooter) and too much trigger causes you to pull (to the right for a right handed shooter). .0833 isnt much, and its hard to detect, but it will cause you to miss by 6 inches at 25 yards.

That is why you need to pull 'straight to the rear".

Again, I can't stress enough the value of the laser sight in dry firing to work on one's trigger control.

If you have a laser, dry fire, push your finger into the trigger guard and see what happens to the red dot. Pull it out and see what happens.

You cannot see .0833 movement of the front sight during dry firing, but if you project that movement, to, lets say 15 ft. the same 6 inch era would be 3.6 inches. Meaning your red dot from the laser will jump (in our case) 3.6 to the left of the aiming point.

You can't see .0833 movement of the sight, but you can see a dot move 3.6 inches.

Again, not enough finger on the trigger, Pushes, too much finger on the trigger Pulls.
