kent pigeon paul Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi I have a Lamber 28ins U/O, I shot 6 shots at a pattern plate, taking a rifle-like aim,the patterns all on top of each other, but the bulk of the pellets are 6ins low. I shot 6 shots from a mounting position all 6 on top of each other but again bulk of the shot 6ins low, I also miss clays low. What can I do to put this right,can anyone help me thank you Paul.

wymberley Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Paul, hi. To help, going to need some help. What distance from the pattern plate? By, "bulk of the pellets are 6" low", do you mean that the centre of the pattern spread was 6" low? How do you know that you're missing low? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin128 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 It all depends what you mean by putting it right. Many clays are hit by aimimg high or adjusting how you look down the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers The centre of the pattern is about 6ins to 8ins low at 16 yards. and a mate standing behind me when shooting clays told me I was shooting low.

Sharpshooter.123 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) No, just purchase a cheap comb raiser, available off eBay or your local gun shop should do them Edited July 14, 2011 by Sharpshooter.123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Raise the comb a bit to suit. There you go. See if you can mock something up and go back to the pattern plate and fiddle then you'll know what size raiser (unless you buy a kit) you need. Err on the side of too high. Beware of your mate behind you, he's probably watching the wad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad93 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Best thing I think you could do is go to your local clay ground and have a lesson with a qualified instructor who could talk to you and advise on gun fit. As said the comb needs to be altered so you could use a cheap comb raiser for a while and if you want it to look better maybe think about having an adjustable comb put in etc alot out this would be slightly costly.

Sharpshooter.123 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Indeed take a lesson first, most instructors will put a temp raiser on if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 As others have said book a couple of lessons with a good coach.You will save yourself so much time,effort and disappointment by doing this.The coach will advise you on all aspects of technique like footwork,stance,movement,mount etc and how to bring them all together CONSISTENTLY time after time after time,which is how you become a better shot.That mount has to be consistently in the right place each and every time you do it,and then you can talk about fit.You can practise bad technique and get nowhere,but a coach will show you how to practise good technique.Good luck.

VicW Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Paul, The cheapest comb raiser you can get is cardboard and tape,more than adequate for experimental purposes.Raise the comb and go back to the pattern plate and repeat what you did before. If you get the pattern centred or even slightly above then go and try the clays again. If you improve then think about doing the job permanently. Stick on comb raisers are very effective but are a hell of a job to remove if you sell the gun. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
