Just how much too high is it shooting, Allen? I have a possible, easy cure that worked perfectly for me on a shotgun once.

I have a Westernfield/Browning plain barreled 20 ga. pumpgun that shot about 6-8" high at 30 yards. It had a small bead at the muzzle, no rib mind you. A poster on another forum suggested I replace the bead with a larger sized one, that it might cause me to sub-consciously hold lower on a bird. I found one a good bit larger, replaced it, and the pattern went down to a perfect 50/50. I was flabbergasted, but pleased.

There are those who will counter that we should never look at the bead, to which I whole heartedly agree. I don't. But, the bead IS in our unfocused vision and by being larger it was also taller, which brought the pattern down. BTW, I refuse to float birds or targets to compensate for a high shooting gun. If I can't make it shoot where it should for me, it goes down the road.
