- Thank you for stepping out and saying it's just the bead. I do understand that for trap some set up their stocks to deliberately shoot high, knowing that a visible rib shoots high. My concern would have been a slug for 4 legged creatures going high. Thank you. Last night I read a response on a different forum that stated something like "every shotgun will shoot to a different sight picture so the only way you know how to aim is take it to a patterning board". I think that gentlemen grew up breathing too much Kentucky windage alone.

tws,
- Great video. i was unable to find the one about sight picture by that same man although I did find http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLHTQ...9C8897A52678C0 by midway usa. They confirm that bead only is proper for a field gun.

Do you guys know if it's possible to lengthen the drop on a Remington 870 or 1187?
