This exaggerated diagram shows it best. Imagine the result if you tilted the front end of the "scope" downward on its mounting and then aimed at the target through the "scope". It would have the effect of tilting the "barrel" upward and your bullets will impact the target much higher than the spot you are aiming at.
Normally, you would adjust the scope's "elevation" screw to bring the point of aim and point of impact together but, if the scope is wildly off (ie. 2.5 to 5 inches high at 15 yards) and the scope is a toy to begin with, there is not enough adjustment on the elevation screw to bring it to where you want and the scope must be re-mounted.
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
