    I had a Sope that was like that once, I can not remember what make it was, So to get it to shoot lower you will have to shim the bottom of the front scope mount, I use black electrical tape a couple of layers should be enough to bring it down.

    Have you got it the right way round? Only joking.

    Some German scopes operate that way.

    Clockwise should be down & left, anti-clockwise up & right, as far as I know that's universal to every scope.

    What scope/rifle, is it new ? if so take it back if used contact the seller ask them, if a pcp is it fully charged

    Had a similar issue with a Mountmaster years back. First one arrived damaged, took a lot of arguments to get it replaced. When it eventually was, the new one behaved like yours. Think I chucked it in a cupboard, probably still there. Funnily enough, had Mountmasters on some s/hand rifles I've bought, & they've been fine.
    Can't remember the supplier.

    This may help, make a fist with your RIGHT hand and place it next to the turret you want to adjust, UP/DOWN or RIGHT/LEFT. Point your RIGHT thumb in the direction to move the POI and your RIGHT fingers will point in the direction to move the adjustment screw.

    The easiest way is use a simple clock face,

    Looking at the scope dials so you can read the markings, the rifle barrel always points to 3 o-clock,
    now turn the rifle clockwise & the barrel/muzzle will now point down to 6, and the muzzle has moved in an arc from right to left, so it is telling you what the POI will do.
    Turn the rifle back anti clockwise the muzzle comes back up & again points right.

    so thinking of the barrel like the hand of a clock tells you what direction to turn the scope dial, clockwise = down/left, anti clockwise = up/right.

    Apologies if this sounds really obvious/daft, but you are using the arrows on the turrets to shift the point of impact of the pellet, not the point of aim of the scope?
