Need advice on using shims to fit a shotgun


Recommended Posts

So as above, how do I use the shims that came with my gun to adjust the poi as I’m not getting on very well with my new gun? The fit I feel is good as stranded but I’m not connecting with many targets so I’m guessing I need to use the shims to move the poi to where I’m looking?

 

I've not used shims before so any help would be great

 

Thanks

What gun, yes they work 'can you find somewhere to use a splatter plate. There should be letters on the shims. Fit the tightest choke, stand 16 Yards from the plate fire gun find center of pattern for every inch you are out then the stock needs moving 1/ 16 of an inch.

I had a franchi invinity and even with shims I could not get it right, the gun seemed to fire high so in the end I made my own shim.

hope this helps.

A visit to a good coach would sort things out!

and pattern plates only give half a story. a good selection of clays after adjustment should help identify too. a good low straight away target too !
