Take the gun out and put it on the patterning board. You will find out what you need to know.

Rather than carving the comb down, I procured a Cutts Compensator barrel for my single trap. Now I can throw a 50" pattern with the spreader tube and it doesn't matter where I aim.

when you look down the rib your 2 beads should make a figure 8 , middle bead top just touching base of front bread

Thanks for that Scott. I’ll check it later tonight after I get home.

The parallax will counteract the sight plane issue!

Dean referenced it. Tape a straw on the gun, then pick out a fixed target and then mount the gun. If when you mount the gun and look down the barrel and can see target thru straw then your good to go on reference point. If you have to adjust the gun up or down some to get sight picture then you have a straw sight and gun mount reference. You can use that straw and then pattern the gun.

I think there are even some cheap laser pointers you can put in the barrel to see where barrel point of aim is as well. Lots of little tricks.

Gary has nailed it. The first thing I do when I buy a new gun is to take it out and pattern it with the load I plan on shooting it with. Nothing can show you where the gun prints like your face on the stock and pulling the trigger/s on a live round or two.
