Eldon, if you are shooting trap, the rule is one shell in the gun unless you are shooting doubles. It's more your POI that needs to be figured out. SxS's generally shoot flat, that's why trap guns are built to shoot high to compensate for a rising target. Trap guns off the shelf are made to shoot a 60%/40% or 70%/30% meaning 60 or 70 percent of the pattern is above your point of aim, this compensates for a rising target. When I buy a new trap gun, I go to the club and have them lock the trap to throw only a straight away from post 3. I add or subtract padding to the comb until I center the target.
