kacey joe Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I got a SBE II Max 4 for Christmas and have been shooting skeet with it and doing fine. I recently shot a sporting clays course with longer targets and didn't do very well at all. Today I went to the patterning board at my local club to see how my duck loads pattern and the pattern is about a foot high at 30 yards and worse at 40. I have the shim kit that came with it and the drop change schedule in the manual and I assume the B drop shim is in the shotgun because thats the only one I don't have. Here's the question does the stock need to go up or down? Any advice would sure help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Try C to lower the POI. Don't aim using the beads though! I've got a buddy that loves the high shot and he averages about 23.5 on trap most of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGWILD Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 trap and skeet two different shotting styles, what choke were you using to shoot at the trap? what choke were ya using for the skeet? i usually use a full choke for trap and let it get out there a ways before i dust it, and normally aim a bit high since it is going straight away at a fast clip unlike skeet! by the time a clay gets out past the thrower on the trap range you will be way past 40Yds! you start about 20 Yds behind tower to start with! ya gotta lead them a group. i usually hit 20 to 21 all the time!

kacey joe Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 I only shoot skeet as a rule and have never shot trap so the high impact on long trap targets doesn't help me much. I shoot IC For skeet and was shooting Modified for the duck loads. I'm not sure what you mean by not sighting with the beads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacey joe Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 I changed from the B to C drop shim and locking plate and that took care of the problem. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
