I’m shooting a bit low at 10 yards with a dot hold. I would normally just buy a new shorter front, but I want to do some experimenting first. I can’t physically move the dot in the sight I have, but I can make it shorter. But of course, I can’t shoot the dot anymore if I do this.
So here is my question:
If I just switched to a Top of Front Sight (TOFS) hold, the POI would be the same as before, i.e., still a bit low, correct? But what I switch to a TOFS hold, AND shorten the Front Sight? POI would raise, since the gun would have to be tilted up, to accommodate POA being the same; the Front Sight being shorter, right?
Ergo et sum, I should be good, shooting TOFS with a shorter front? I drew the diagram below to show this. I think It’s right but I need a second opinion. (Numbers are notional, figure not to scale, look before crossing, may cause bloating, etc.)
