I posted a few weeks ago about getting a new A400 and wanting to get back into the clay sports. I grew up shooting skeet twice a week with my dad, but the last time I went was probably in 1999.
I shot 4 rounds of trap yesterday and didn't do too hot. I was having to hold 3-4 feet underneath the birds to hit anything, and it looked like those hits were just barely on. A few other members watching confirmed that I was shooting high. I don't currently have access to a patterning board BUT my research did let me know that there isn't enough drop on the stock. FYI, when I mounted the gun I could see the full length of the ramp.
I switched to the larger of the shims that Beretta includes and now when I mount the gun I can only see the bead (and a bit of the receiver) but no ramp. Headed out again on Saturday to see if it fixed the height problem (I know I still have a lot to re-learn as far as fundamentals go)
