    Shooting low

    Hi folks.

    Just had a bit of a wee bit of frustration.

    Shooting a Beretta 1301 comp.

    Absolutely love the gun.

    But I'm shooting low so my question is with the shims provided.

    What one do I need to put in ?

    It has a 2 bead sight on it.

    I put the middle bead plum dead underneath the front bead naturally with no rib showing in-between.

    Help???

    Are you lifting your head when firing? ie smack in the jaw? Bruised cheek
    Gun fit is a funny old thing its like boots everyone is different.

    Nope absolutely not.

    First time shooting out of a lay out blind.

    And I'd patterned the gun on the range.

    Perhaps I was just having a off day shooting out of a layout blind???

    you need to lift the stock/buttplate and PUT some rib between the beads..... think about it...same as rear sight on rifle...raise the rear to lift POI. With Bakail shotties you need to get head down on stock or shoot over the top..opposite problem to yours.... set up big mirror across largest room in house....
    UNLOADED shotgun ..point at your dominant eye in mirror dont think just up and point..you will instantly see whats going on...if you shooting low you will probably be able to see rib in mirror....

    Are change in fire postion. Lying down as above you will be mounting the gun in a different way to standing. See if you can set it up and then have a go with a clay bird machine. You should be able to move your blind about to simulate what birds do when they come into your set up.
    I'd leave the gun alone if it fitted you fine when standing.

    Close your eyes when mounting the gun and doing the above. Then open and you will get the above^^^ Micky Duck is spot on. But also try my last post.

    Raise the comb = use a shim with less drop on it. And remember it's not how much rib you see, it's how it patterns on the pattern board

    The shims need to be used to raise the comb in relation to the barrel. A quick method to check the correct stock cast and height is to mount the gun with your eyes closed, have a friend place a 50 cent piece on the rear of the rib then open your eyes. The correct sight picture should be nicely centered with the front bead fully visible above the coin. If not correct then make the adjustments required.
