Though you did not write that in mind as a physicist. YOu are actually correct in a long detailed way.
A bullet path STARTS BELOW the sight or scope, but crosses it upwards fired in a high arc, then descends down range to hit the target and CROSSES THE PATH OF A SIGHT A SECOND TIME!
Two times the bullet matches the scope. Two points in space.
One is a few feet from the gun, the other is 100 yards away.
The first time a bullet crosses a sight on its high arc upward, is called POINT BLANK RANGE.
A sight or scope is only 100.000% accurate in two tiny little points in space... a few feet from gun exactly, and usually 100 yards away (or whateverr the sight is set for).
Therefore OP is correct : "Shoot through the sight not down it."
As Try says. However differing bullets have differing trajectories. Point of aim for a typical AR-308 style is 50 yards and 200 yards where the aim points cross. If you zero on 50 yards you are dead on also at 200 yards.
