   It will not matter. Sights are always some distance away from the bore.

   The projectile will travel in an arc.

   Just sight it in so that the arc of the projectile starts below the line of sight, travels slightly above the line of sight, then drops below the line of sight.

   Cannons, of any kind, do NOT need scopes.
   An air cannon is a TOY, and does NOT BELONG IN THE HUNTING SECTION.
