    Do as schwen suggests, he’s pretty much on the money. Club shooting is only as competitive as you make it, there will be old hands around to help you out. Just remember that some guns just won’t...

    "Ive been interested in going to a clay target club anyway, but im put off by the competitiveness of the sport, I only care about shooting them for the fun of it, it seems its all about competition...

    You found it patterned too low= your head is too low.or you putting bead under target.blot target out with bead and try again. As we have all said in different ways you need to lift your "rear sight"...

    Yip as i mentioned earlier, a mid bead is superfluous and really only there to establish your eye is looking in the right place ie in the middle. Once proper fit is established it's muscle memory...

    Yeah and no re rear sight. On all my older singles there is a notch in rear of action that I've used by default...it really ensures head position it the same every time on bakails with the ramp...

    I wonder if people are thinking of a mid rib bead when saying rear sight. That sort of functions to ensure your eyes are in line down the rib and gives some idea of elevation hold, ie figure 8 the...

    I'll add my 2 cents worth, Shotguns don't have a rear sight, the theory is that you face sitting on the stock in the same place every time, with your eye looking down the rib is your rear sight....

    The pads a couple of mm high but looks to fit the stock correctly, just put on slightly off. I doubt it's the problem though

    Too long = maybe makes you shoot low. Head down too low does same thing. Your looking to use shotgun,like a rifle to shoot stationary object ....so this length and fit thing doesn't matter a flying...
