the bead should be just below the target. most sights are designed so that it hits right above the bead. you will have to adjust your sights though.

bound's hubby straighten this guy out
before bound's hubby says something I do want to say don't use aiming to compensate for poor shooting technique. If you are jerking down and to the left don't aim high and to the right quit jerking.
If you are doing bullseye find a coach. If you have a notch and post sight make a straight line with the notch and post and then split the target in half with the sights. Focus on the front sight. You can't focus on three things at once so just focus on the front sight. Then think of squeezing the trigger and focusing on the front sight as one action. Don't do one or the other do both. Immediately afterwards you should know where you hit on the target. Learn to call your shots, which just means when you fire you don't have to look at the target because you know where it went.
If you have a bead (a circle on top) on the front sight set it into the groove of your rear sight and do everything the same.
cutting the target in half is better than doing the bottom of the target because you will not know the distance and the size of your target if you are, say hunting. If you are doing bullseye competition you need a mentor but in that case you aim at the bottom of the target.
there are two ways to be off. one is angular that is to say basically your gun is not level. This is what happens when you don't make a perfect line with the front and rear sights. If you are off a few millimeters at the gun you will be off over a meter at the target. The other way to be off is if your sights make a straight line but you are a little low or high on the target. In this case if you are a few millimeters off at the gun you will be a few millimeters off at the target. Focus on the front sight and worry most about the rear sight and a little about the target.
one more thing: get off the bench as fast as possible in most situations you don't have a bench.

The bead should sit in the center of the notch of the rear sight. (The traditional post-in-notch sight picture.) There are two possible places to put this, relative to the target. One is dead-center . . . where the front sight is placed right where you want to shoot it, or the top of the front sight is just level with the bulls-eye. The other is to to let what you're aiming at appear to sit on top of the front sight, since the recoil of the firearm will tend to pull the muzzle up. This latter method is called the "six o' clock hold."
Under no circumstances should you try to intentionally aim the weapon off to the left or the right. That would be little more than a poor way of compensating for a bad hold/flinch/anticipation of recoil. For the vast majority of target-shooting, sights aligned with the target is always the best way to go.

It depends on how you adjust your sights. You need to adjust your sights to the distance of the target you intend to shoot at. Place the front bead in between the beads or blades on the rear sight and and keep the top of the front sight level with the rear. Then place the front sight (while it is still in the correct place between the rear sights) just to the bottom of the target so you can see the target. You don't want to aim too low though. You need to adjust your sights accordingly so that it will hit dead-on.
One important thing to remember is with rifles, you always squeeze the trigger slowly and smoothly while continuing to control your breathing and heart rate and while focusing on aiming at the target. It should surprise you when the gun goes off. Just relax. Jerking the trigger can cause you to move the gun just enough to throw you off target.

Place the front bead inside the V of the rear sight V and the target sits on top of the bead. Keep both eyes open when using open sights.

There are many different sight configurations, depends on the manufacturer. Try to download the owners manual for the gun your are shooting. It should explain the proper procedure for sighting your gun and how to adjust the sights. It has all the information necessary for operating and cleaning the firearm.

High and right, you'll naturally pull down and toward your dominant hand.

It depends how far away you are from the target, but aim high, since most people pull the gun down when they press the trigger..
