55355533Went to a military shoot at a local club. I haven't had the chance to sight in my rifle, I'm shooting high, but toward the center of the target. My rifle is a SW MP15, it has a POF hooded front sight and a MI fixed peep sight in the rear. Since then I've added a two piece MI free float handguard that increased my sight radius about 1 to 1.5 inches. The rear sight is as low as it will go, the front sight pin is about in the center of the hood. Based on the picture of my target, how far will I have to raise my front sight pin to get my group on the 20 ring? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Brad

This should get you started:

1 MOA = 1" @ 100 yards. So if you're shooting 1" high at 25 yards, for instance, you need to move your POI down 4 MOA.
