Last weekend I took a few shots with a .270 at about 75 yards. I hit the very edge of the board I was shooting at, a few inches from the right. Then someone told me to float the sight right below the target, and I hit much closer.
I've always tried to put the rear and front sight in a perfect line with the target. The only problem with this is that at any significant ranges it becomes difficult to see my target, and it involves some guess work. I've heard of floating sights, but never really understood it. How much do you float it, for example.
I get that everyone has their own style, but is there a proper way to align the sights?
