    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.

    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?
