Anyone know what is the max drop and max cast Ethos has with shims?

Agree with the previous post. I have a Vizsla- my first hunting dog. I referenced the breeder and felt good about them and the quality of dog. My dog is going to be 9 and I have nothing but good things to say about my dog and the breeder - they were phenomenal in terms of support.

This is the age old problem of buying a gun off the rack- they fit the average guy and they don't fit everyone else.

Have a new SBE II that patterns POI consistently several inches to the left of center from the point of aim. I shoot right handed. Did the pattern with mod Benelli choke and factory load # 8 Winchester target loads at 30 yds.. The amount of shot above and below the center of impact is perfect. Since the gun shoots to the left, I am crushing targets flying right to left. Of course, I have more difficulty with the left to right birds as a result. To be honest, I don't want to have to think about which way I am shooting and have 2 different leads stored in my head depending on which directi
