Calculation for height of front sight

[txbiker]

Since it seems many milsurps need a taller front sight for 100 yard targets there must be a formula for it.
Can someone send me the calculations that allow me to calculate how high the front sight must be.
Thanks

Determine Sight Height

Use the following equation to determine the height change you need to make:
Sight change =

Sight Radius X_ Impact distance
Target distance

Sight radius: Distance between front and rear sight

Impact distance: Measurement from point of aim to bullet impact

Target distance: Measurement from muzzle to target

Sight change: Amount of correction needed

Sight rule: Move rear sight in the direction you want the bullet to move. Move front sight the opposite direction you want the bullet to move.



They also have a sight height calculator that you plug in your numbers and it fills in the missing link.
