I have a Pedersoli Sharps and just bought Kelley sights for it. I think I have the selection of the peep figured out, but I am at a loss as to how to start the targeting process. I understand the Vernier scale and the adjustment of the rear elevator to account for drop of the bullet, but I don't have a clue as to where to start. Do I initially sight on the target for 100 yards (for the load I am using) with the rear sight elevator set at zero, and then adjust the elevator upwards for distance to the target beyond 100 yards? Seem to me if I do that I will lose the target in the sights, and if I move the rifle left or right when adjusting the rear sight I can easily lose the target. I have worked out the geometry on paper and just don't see any way of keeping the rear sight, front sight and target all in alignment after adjusting the rear sight for drop.
