Have the instructor show you haw to return your hand gun to mechanical zero, then read the manual for your gun. It should tell you which way the screws turn for elevation (up and down) and windage (left and right). Fire 3 - 5 rounds all at the same point, get a good group, than adjust, fire 5 more, and repeat.
