Dave McC: I hear you on the patterning board. As is, I am pretty much guessing where the gun shoots in relatiion to where I think it is pointed. Given the strained way I have to peer through or over the top of my glasses I may in fact be pointing high when I think I am aiming low.

The guy with the Benelli explained something to the effect that it was set up for three gun and it had too light a return spring. I know nothing about the weapon but I gather the bolt wasn't quite locking into battery. That or he may have meant a firing pin hammer/striker spring if it has such an animal.

All I know about semi automatics is the little I recall of my old M-14.

I am putting off messing with the stock until I settle in as to mounting the gun. Every time I shoot the standard synthetic stock seems smaller.

Zippy: You might already know this but the class is taught by Don Ziegler (I believe to be called Ziggy) and everyone thinks he is great. I am looking forward to a great time based on what everyone has said who attended past clinics.
