Tight Sight Pin

Dear Norm,

"Are you aware that Artillery sights are supposed to move to the left as they ramp up?"

No.

What's the purpose of that? It doesn't seem to make sense.

Regards,

Jack Owens

Hi Jack, I replied on the other forum, but for everyone"s benefit, here's the link. The Artillery Luger was originally intended for long range shooting, and the leftward movement of the leaf sight is intended to compensate for the rightward drift of a clockwise rotating bullet. Regards, Norm.
