[SBE front bead sight]

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

[Trap league]

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

[Getting frustrated]

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?

[Shooting trap with SBE]

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?

[Trap rounds]

I'm thinking a low base 1 1/8 oz load with #8 shot?

I've had problems with 1 oz loads jambing

[Trap rounds]

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.
