POI is important and shouldn't be taken for granted. A couple of weeks ago, I patterned a Remington 1100 trap gun for a friend. He shot it poorly, so we decided to see what the gun was doing on paper. I usually start at 20 yards when determining the POI before moving back to 40 yards. The gun shot low at 20 yards. I was surprised and so I took a few more shots and got the same results. I had my friend shoot it a few times and he got the same results. I don't know the drop of the stock but it was a typical trap stocked Remington with a Monte Carlo. It fit me well, as far as I could tell.
The low shooting may have something to do with the pitch, I'm not sure. But if it was my gun I would take the time to figure it out. He didn't seem interested in investigating further.
