Justdad Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Shooting Slugs: My sons I-12 shoots consistently 6” to the left at 100’. I have had it to the gunsmith and he checked the barrel and it is straight. If he compensates by aligning the bead to the right of the site grove he can hit well with it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It's a shotgun. The beads aren't designed to be accurate with slugs at 100 yards. Put a scope or red dot on it, or at least adjustable sights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novaking Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Bring your target in to 50 yards and you won't have that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justdad Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 We have shipped the gun back to Benelli to have it checked out. Maybe I didn’t post correctly, but at 100 ft not yards it shoots 7-8 inches to the left. My old one, that I have got when I was 12 (45years ago) I can hit a soda can consistently at 100-150 feet. My son can shoot that well with it also. Hopefully they can find the problem, as I took it to a gunsmith and had the barrel checked. He was concerned about how the choke threads were drilled.

tucker301 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 100 feet or 100 yards, you should still use rifle sights or a scope for slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Mike Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 If the gun shoots consistant like you stated, "6 inches left" then just make sure that is were he aims for now. It can take several days and half dozen different types of slugs to get the gun sighted in on a bullseye. Then again you may NOT do any better but spent a bunch of money on slugs. Harvey Pennick (renouned golf instructor) once said: "YOU dance with whom you brought to the ball" So keep what you have for now and aim to the left 6-inches!

ArtL Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I use an Aimpoint even though I have an M2 with the ghost ring sight on it. It will shoot like a rifle out to 100 yards with that red dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
