Factory adjustment of sights from clamped bench-tests does not always produce optimum accuracy. The process of the individual shooter developing precision accuracy requires taking into consideration not only the personal characteristics and idiosyncrasies of the shooter, but environmental factors as well. For example, it is often characteristic that right-handed shooters tend to pull slightly to the right, and left-handed shooters pull to the left. Environmental factors include distance from the target, making it necessary to adjust elevation to compensate vertically for trajectory, and wind direction and force require compensation for horizontal deviation.

Loaded weapons should not be handled frivolously. Use extreme caution and be certain that the muzzle is pointed downrange at all times.
