HW45 Rear sight

[fishman307]

Hi, Just started playing with my New HW45, with true glo sights, It seems to be firing a bit low to me, Do screw rear sight elevation screw in or out, IE clockwise or anti clock, I presume i need to lift rear sight a little to higher pellet on taget ?? Hope this makes sense.

To raise the point of impact you need to raise the rear sight.

You will need to unscrew the rear sight screw to raise it so that's anti-clockwise.

Cheers for that. When i was a schoolboy many years ago some screwed clockwise to lift sight up, Thanks again time for furthar play

Here is a link to the HW45 owners manual. In my view somethings could be explained a little better than the manual and Synthasy2000 has done just that with his/her explanation but still, you may find this link useful.

Thanks for that, Didnt even bother looking at maual to be honest as you say lot to be desired Just after my post i pressed on rear site and it moves down against a spring, This confirmed my thoughts on screw direction,

Hi fishman, If you treat the rear sights like the top of a pop bottle, - unscrew the top and it comes up and if you screw the top down it goes down.

Don't do a Ratty and unscrew it too far or BOING!

took me 2hrs and a magnet on a stick to find all the bits

Windage is simple if you want to go left with pellet strike, the rear sight needs to go left, note that to complicate matters the adjuster screw works opposite to the way it is turned, HTH, Ratty.
