Scott, what are you using for a patterning board? And is the inner circle 30” or is the pattern board 30”?

Pattern Board
It is a 4’ piece of 1/4” steel with a flat washer welded in the center which allows for a focal point as well as an anchor point for a homemade protractor that I use to mark the 30” circle.
Use white lithium grease and a paint roller to clear the plate for the next shot. Board has worked out well but is not good for steel shot patterns, that would not be very safe. |

While at the West London Shooting Grounds near Notholt, England some 45+ years ago I was fitted with a Try-Gun. We shot a round steel plate eight to ten feet off the ground. They would swab it with what looked to be white wash between shoots as the stock was adjusted. I can't recall how far away we were from it though I recall it being about 20 yards or so. You have a great set up Scott.

The range for gun fit is often 16 yards from the eye
Mathematically that allows a simple translation of inches on the board to fractions of an inch change in the stock

If they're .004 i would have expected less lead in the circle. At 30 yards that's a great pattern. I just can't get my head around that .004 choke measurements and that many in the circle. its a good pattern hunt on.
