That's what I am trying to achieve. All my shooting, even on clay birds, is from low gun. Ultimately the question is how to adjust the gun if I am missing. This is why I struggle with the concept of "aiming" at a patterning board or the concept of how much rib to see.

My thought is to focus on a point, mount the gun and fire at a patterning board as soon as the gun hits my shoulder in order to determine where I am shooting and repeat several times. Then repeat the exercise with another double that I shoot fairly well and compare. That should get me pretty close in terms of measurements.
