Why 17 yards? I know that's the range at which a good trap shooter breaks his targets, but I can't imagine shooting trap with a 311. I did shoot skeet with one once and had trouble with the patterning. The fix was to take the gun to a 'smith who cut 1/2 inch off the barrels and did something else (his own private brand of magic) to help it shoot to the sights. It became my dove/rabbit gun and served me very well for several years.
Are you, by chance, shooting it Southpaw?
