Does Benelli offer a red bar front sight for the SBE (not II)

Can I shoot trap with my SBE or should I pick up something else. Seems guys and gals have designated trap guns

Well that didn't work like I hoped. I struggled to find the target hitting 3 of the first 10 clays then finished off 5, 4 & 3

Thanks, I've been checking the book and searching around on YouTube and they usually refer to "drop" If I understand this correctly "raising the comb" is the same as "decreasing drop" The SBE has 4 shim option A - D; A has least amount of drop, D has the most I'll replace the B for an A and see how that works for me.

While shooting trap it seems my SBE shoots low. I have to cover the clay with the end of the barrel to get a good hit. This should be adjustable with the amount of drop in the stock? Which way do I go and how much I have a B shim installed at this time

To help my shooting this fall and for the fun of it I'm shooting league trap this summer. I'm using a SBE, 1 1/8 oz loads of 8 shot I have been getting in that 18 to 22 range but seem to be getting worse. Last round I shot 14 and 16. The thing I notice I have to cover the clay for a good hit which tells me my gun shoots low. See, I'm thinking. Not good. A couple buddies pointed out is I'm stopping which is probably the biggest problem. How do I teach myself to follow thru?

I am shooting league trap this summer in hopes to improve hits this fall. I've been very inconsistent ranging 18-22 hits per round. One thing I noticed as of late if I place the barrel beads in a figure 8 and cover the clay with the front bead I have been doing a lot better. I'm reading this as my gun is shooting low. Would changing a shim in the stock improve this?

I'm thinking a low base 1 1/8 oz load with #8 shot? I've had problems with 1 oz loads jambing

Getting ready for hunting season this fall some co-workers and I have decided to shoot league trap (first time doing this) I'm shooting a Benelli SBE and would like to know what choke and shotshells you recommend? Thanks,

Thanks for a couple pointer to try. One thing I noticed is when I do get good hits my sight picture is different, with frustration setting in I'm not sure what I'm doing differently. It seems when I do have a good hit I have both eyes open and my head up, not looking down the barrel at all. It's hard to correct something when you don't know what you are doing wrong.

I have a SBE with high rib. In the past when taking aim on a skunk in the field I would hit high, barely shooting over the top. I installed a C shim to lower my point of impact and get 60/40 results when I pattern the gun. Problem is I can't hit a clay and it's starting to get frustrating and embarrassing. Goose hunting is right around the corner.
