Lazy Solution:  When a rifle shoots too high with sights at lowest setting, staple one bull's-eye above another on the backer.  Aim at the lower bull so bullets strike upper bull.  Through experience, you can position the lower bull vertically and horizontally so shots center on Ten Ring of the upper bull.  You really only need a rifle to shoot to actual point of aim when hunting or for formal match shooting.

I will use 2 targets as you suggest before I mess around with the front sight.
I ordered some 180 gr ammo ( could not find 220gr)so the test will have to wait.
Thank you all
Dave
