Default need help on sighting in, iron sights

did a search, can't find a thread, if this answer exists, pls refer me...

new mp15-22. first time out, shooting at 50 yds. 20 rds, not a hit!

another 10, 2 very low. this is from standing position.

move to 25 yd range (this is all outside. 25 yd range has no table).

hitting all shots bottom of target.

finally hitting close to center after turning back adjustment almost 2 whole turns! I am aiming like a pistol, the top of the front sight is at the bottom of the bullseye circle.

the range has a table at 3 ft at the 50 yd range. no bench or chair, so i have to be on my knees.

1. is it right that i would have to turn adjustment 2 whole revs?
2. am i aiming correctly, like a pistol or should i have the top of the front sight in the middle of the black , not the bottom?
3. should i sight this in at the table while being on my knees. I am worried that my shoulder is too low and therefore the gun is pointing up. there is no way to line up top of rear sight and top of front sight like a pistol.

many thanks for any advice.
