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.
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."
