Shotgun shooting low and left.
Perhaps it's the way I'm looking down the barrel. But. Your advice would be helpful. I got a new Stoger Model 2000 12 ga. shotgun for Christmas and took it out to go ahead and pattern it for turkey. It has a fantastic pattern at 20, 30, and even 40 yards with the turkey choke provided. However, I'm putting the pattern about 6 in' low and left each shot. Consistantly so I know it's me not the gun. How do I change my head placement OR has anyone everused a HiViz TriViz front and back sight? Or is there a better option? The front sight on the gun is already truglow. Could I just get a rear sight? Agan anyfeedback would be appreciated. Thanks,
Chuck

RE: Shotgun shooting low and left.
I use fiber optic sights on my turkey gun. Extra full turkey chokes at closer distances are about like shooting a slug. If your gun is on that is great, but most times it will be off. The clamp on sights work pretty well and are easy to see. Some are a bit cheesy and a pain to adjust though.

I'm not sure if it's drilled and tapped I'll have to check. I'll try another brand of ammo though I used Winchester Supremes. I'll give the federal a try.

RE: Shotgun shooting low and left.
For your problem go out and purchase a HiViz TriViz sight. I use one often and they are a sponsor for the tv show i work with. www.outdoorsmenadventures.com The sight will improve the way you hold the gun and give you a straighter view. It worked with me and with other people as well im sure it will work with you. It is priced very reasonable and you wont be digging deep in the wallet trying to afford one.

You got a couple of choices - one, hold high right (not recommended) or try a different load. Sometimes that's all that you need to do. Sights would probably help too. Probably just putting the sight on will raise your POI as you won't be looking down the rib.
