JeffG,
I have heard that “ Sun up, Sights up.”
That’s a military term??
Please describe in detail.
THANKS! 👍🏻

I learned it shooting M14 matches and qualifications. At 300 and 600 yards we had pre-determined sight adjustments when the sun would shine without interuption. For me personally, if I didn't pay attention, the rounds would strike somewhat at 4 O'clock on the bull.

The correction varied with the rifle and shooter.

Taylor and I see the sights differently, with me striking about 2" under his POI at a mere 25 yards on small bore and 50yards on his .50 & 60 Virginia.
On the other hand, my buddy Keith and I can interchange rifles or sight them in for each other, irons or scopes no difference.
