How to Adjust XS Sights After Installation

XS Sight Systems produces a wide range of enhanced, illuminated sights. These sights include handgun sights, rifle sights, shotgun sights and tactical sights. All XS sights are installed and calibrated to a specific weapon. With this installation method, 90 percent of all shooters should have an accurate sighting-in of the weapon with no adjustments needed. Due to the fact that all human eyes are different, occasionally minor adjustments may be required after XS sight installation. Rifle sight adjustments are the most common, particularly with the ghost ring aperture. The adjustment process can be accomplished with little difficulty.

Instructions

    • 1

      Set your target out at 100 yards. Fire a group of 3 shots at the target.

    • 2

      Note the bullet impacts in relation to the target's bull's-eye. Measure the distance from the impact to the center of the bull's-eye.

    • 3

      Adjust for elevation if the bullet impact is above or below the target bull's-eye. Loosen one of the windage screws one full turn (either windage screw is fine). This will allow the ghost ring aperture to be turned up or down. For example: If the bullet impact was 4 inches above the bull's-eye at 100 yards, turn the ghost ring aperture 4 half turns down (clockwise) then retighten the windage screw.

    • 4

      Adjust for windage if the bullet impact is to the left or right of the target's bull's-eye. For example: If the bullet impact is 3 inches to the right of the target bull's-eye at 100 yards, loosen the left windage screw by 3/4 of a turn. Tighten the right side windage screw to move the aperture to the left.
