I am trying to zero my x95 irons. I forgot that special tool so I was using a punch I had. I was like a foot high at 50 yards so I started turining towards the up arrow to bring it down like an AR. Well I can't get it to move anymore so I assume I am maxed out. Should I be turning it down or up to lower my point of impact? Do I need that tool to do this properly?

bring the front sight up lowers impact. the tool does double duty. one side rotates the lower section of the sight while the other turns just the post so the trintium inset is facing the correct way.

Alright so I tried out that tool today. Much more easy. They mark the front sight opposite of the AR15. There is an arrow pointing what way to turn for up and that adjusts your point of impact. Standard F front sights the "up" moves the front sight up. So I kept moving my sight farther up away from the target and bottomed it out and that's why I could not turn anymore.

The front sight needs to move the opposite direction to where you want bullets to move on target.   If shooting high raising the sight should lower point of impact on target.  Higher sight forces the muzzle down when sighting.


I sighted my Tavor in at 100 yards.  Once you have the front sight at the correct height the window for the tritium insert can be slid around so you can see the night sight.   If you look closely you can see the cap with the window slides independent of the front sight notches.   Rotate the windowed cap til the tritium vial is centered to the shooter.

correct. I was confused with the arrow they put on the front sight. It is backwards from a standard AR sight
