    I saw this person today and it all makes sense what you were talking about, few things I was doing wrong, but explained to me why these guns shoot the way they do. Typically you would want to keep...

    No your not. Your being told you need to realign your line of sight so gun is tipped more muzzle skyward.the EASIEST way I know to make you do it is add blob of something to rear of rib/barrel so you...

    Would be OK. But just drill over deep holes for expansive anchors and later you can hammer them down below surface level and cover the holes easily

    Do as schwen suggests, he’s pretty much on the money. Club shooting is only as competitive as you make it, there will be old hands around to help you out. Just remember that some guns just won’t...

    Your overthinking this again.point and shoot. Pattern to KNOW where it's going and you can then point accordingly.

    I'll add my 2 cents worth, Shotguns don't have a rear sight, the theory is that you face sitting on the stock in the same place every time, with your eye looking down the rib is your rear sight....

    Yip as i mentioned earlier, a mid bead is superfluous and really only there to establish your eye is looking in the right place ie in the middle. Once proper fit is established it's muscle memory...

    Yes I think it's best to start off with sights first and pattern a few times, then try adjusting the stock. Don't know what I should do permanently should any mods make any improvements. Here is...

    Ok, I shot a large sheet of cardboard today and the sights are out. Not too sure why, or how to correct, but basically the pattern is way too low and a bit to the right. No wonder I've been missing...

    I agree with Micky Duck; 50 yards (or metres) is a helluva long shot on a possum with a typical gun/ammo combination. Possums are tough to kill and your pattern at 50+ yards will likely be too...
