Default What are the sight adjustments

on the 686 how do I move the POI where it needs to be. Most adjustable sights have a R or U to show where to move the bullet strike not on the sights here. My 4" hits right where I aim it. My new to me 21/2 " is not there yet and worked on it but still off. Thanks for any information.

For Windage move the sight adjustment screw the direction you want the POI to be. I.e if you are shooting to the left turn the sight adjustment to the right. If your POI is low turn the elevation adjustment counter clockwise.

Basically, you move the rear sight in the direction you want the POI to move.
