acmf74 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Today I took out my new SBE (right handed) out for the first time. I was using rifled slugs and a Improved cylinder choke. I was consistently shooting high and to the left. I read the manual on the drop shim kit but I'm still confused. Any recommendations?

IdahoDucker Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 What are you using for sights? If you're just using the barrel beads, get some snap on Hi-Viz fiber optic type sights or a scope.

StarLynx Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Doesn't that SBE have a place for a mount??..If so..If your gonn'a shoot a lot of slugs & ya want Sniper "Like " hits...ya might wann'a try an optical site.. I put a Kobra site that has 4 different chevrons & can pop the **** out'a golfballs out pass'd a 100 yards....After that ...they hit like artillary shells anyways....

buck_uncle Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 if your snap shooting then ya adjust the shims if your looking dead on down the barrel with the front and mid bead and the shot still goes left its the barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmf74 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Buck, What do you mean by "snap shooting? I lined up the mid bead and the front bead. Should I be using the figure "8" aiming style? Meaning the mid bead on the bottom and the end bead on top.

tucker301 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I think by snap shooting he either means that you're shouldering the gun and shooting quickly (as in birds flushing and getting away...hurry up and shoot), or you're going into a Southern man's garden and killing his green beans. You should be seeing a figure 8 sight picture with the target fully visible just above the 8. As others have stated, the best advice for shooting slugs is to mount some sort of scope or red dot and tweak from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoDucker Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 It's been brought up here that not all benelli center beads are mounted dead center on the rib. Check that out too. http://www.benelliusa.com/forums/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/2814.html#000000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acmf74 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Great..... If I do find that the beads arent centered would Benelli replace it free of charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
