Error in M1 Sighting article.

I just thought I would point out an error in the article on sighting in an M1 Garand that should probably be corrected. The article states (I have bolded the part in error):

"Start at the 25 yard range.

For this part you should bench fire your weapon to be accurate and hold the same sight picture. Look though the rear sight aperture lining up the front sight with the target. Fire 3 rounds. This will give you an idea as to the adjustments needed. If you have a good rifle and hold the same sight picture your rounds will be close together. Now and then you'll get what is known as a flier. Nothing to worry just use the closest two rounds together. This is the starting point for you. You'll now need to move the bullet impacts to center if they are off. On standard Garand sights each click is 1 inch of movement at this distance. Now lets say you are 2 inches low and 2 inches right of center. Simply move your sights 2 clicks up and 2 clicks right. Then fire 3 more rounds you should be on center or bulls eye on the target."

Of course, at 25 yards, each click (1 MOA) will move the point of impact 1/4", not 1".

The content being referred to is actually on a different web site, that we create a "window" into under "sticky" threads area, for the viewing convenience of of members. ;)

I forgot to mention that there is another error. Where it says that if to correct for a hit 2 inches to the right, you should give two clicks to the right. Actually, you give 8 CLICKS TO THE LEFT.

We have a thread on it here anyway. Why would we publish someone else's mistakes? Sighting in a Garand
