Good idea. For patterning, I oft rest the gun on a solid object. For establishing POA/POI, I shoot as if the aim point is a bird flying straight away.

Often the top barrel of a O/U will shoot flatter than the bottom one. Not a glitch, the paradigm is both clays and birds will climb at first and level out. Second barrel works better shooting flat most of the time.

Do not get overly bent out of shape if the POIs are a little off each other. Beretta supposedly thinks within 8" is acceptable. More crucial is POA/POI convergence.

HTH....
