I used to shoot competively and perhaps can help clarify this. The sights of 
the weapon are set so that your bullet actually goes higher than where you 
aim. That way you can aim at the bottom of the black bulls-eye (where the 
black circle meets the white part of the target) and hit the center of it. As 
has been stated before it is much easier for the eye to determine where the 
edge of the circle is instead of the center.
