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

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.

What Daryl said.

Get some paper and some shells and shoot 13 yards from the patterning board for determination of the POI.

Next do 33 yards for analysis of the pattern.

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.

I have to disagree with you Bill. Cutts should never be put on a SBT. What you need is a poly choke. More fitting for a Parker SBT. Get the one with the ventelated extension. Remember not to cut the barrel to less than 18". You want to keep the gun legal.
