Very good advice! What amazes me is most people when they buy a rifle they spend lots of time sighting in a rifle and seeing where the rifle shoots. BUT, when it comes to a shotgun very few people do what you so wisely suggest. And that is sighting in your Shotgun. I have seen some brand-name shotguns do some pretty bizarre things so how are you going to know what is happening if you don't test it first. And also realize you'll have to probably try at least 10 different brands of cartridges before one will work Optimum for that shotgun and choke combination.

Tim... very well said...good on you!!!

Good advice. I was at a turkey shoot 2 weeks ago and a guy had a shotgun that was in the family for decades. He wasn't hitting well and I asked him when he last patterned it. He said it hadn't been shot in 40 years but he KNEW it shot a tight pattern. I laughed and went home with the meat I won with a patterned Browning. Keep up the informative videos.

Hi Roger, I've patterned my guns before and always did it the wrong way apparently. I used to AIM using the front bead !! I took your advice and LOOKED at the center cross and found a tremendous difference. A really super piece of advice. Thanks and keep up the good work.

You have come a long way Mr. Pace. It says 3.8 K subscribers now. It is because of your charm and common sense methods for basic trap concepts that we all need to know and be reminded of. Also, I love your old school marker graphics, no CGG here, just charts from the mind of Roger Pace. Keep up the great work sir. See the bird, shoot the bird, I always say that before each pull and it clears my mind and makes me smile because I am a student of Roger Pace. Take care, Rick Mansberger East Lansing MI USA

Hi Roger, great videos. I shoot primarily skeet and was wondering how far away I should stand to pattern the gun for skeet.

@rogerpace9322

7 жыл бұрын

Skeet is shot closer than trap...but patterning it is the same...shoot 4 shots at 16-20 yds AIMING with the beads...then move to 35 yds and just shoot 4 shots at the target WITHOUT looking at the gun...that will tell you if your gun shoots where you look...if left right up or down then you will have to make adjustments ...stay well!

You should use a different thumbnail for every video, makes finding and identifying specific videos easier in a sea of vidoes all with the same preview image.

Great video and some important, useful advise, Roger. Thank you!

Does the adjustable stock afford you better breaks?

so the bottom barrel shoots first?! And how do you shoot from the same barrel repeatedly?! does the 3/4 choke go on the bottom one and the full on the top?

@rogerpace9322

Yes full on top!!!

good vidéo .very interested by how setting the pitch...but for me It depends mainly in which direction (angle) you shoot.for Trap shooting for example and as every targets go up the main angle to setthe pitch is 30 degrees above the horizontal Line.

@rogerpace9322

Tintin...the pitch of the gun is the angle of the back of the butt stock relative to the barrels...if a gun has zero pitch...when you stand it up ...the barrels will be perpendicular to the wall...good to hear from you ...stay well

G'day Roger. I have a question about patterning shotguns. I recently bought a new gun (Churchill sporter) so I head out to the club. I found that I was missing more than usual. (I usually shoot 100 out of 100 consistently in DTL single barrel with my old shotgun) So I took the gun to a place where I could check how it patterns. The bottom barrels point of impact was a lot lower than I had anticipated. The centre of the sheet did wear some of the impact but most of it was way under which explains why I was missing at the club. The top barrel on the other hand was about 70/30 which I'm fine with. My question is do you think the two barrels should have such a different point of impact at 20metres? Thanks in advance and keep the great content coming. Cheers mate

@rogerpace9322

Gamoto...the bottom barrel is usually 60/40 or 70/30 ...top and bottom barrels should converge at 40 yards...pattern the gun at 40 yards (the distance we usually shoot the clay at) and see how the pattern is. Good luck and best wishes!!!

I'd be sending that gun back to the distributor. Ask them to check it out when in fact the two impact points are different they should give you a different gun.

Hello Roger,I really appreciate your straightforward and if I use the word simplistic please don't be offended because that's exactly what people are able to remember.How many people on the pattern plate are told not to 'aim', but you were much more correct and understand "don't look down the rib and use the bead. It's obvious but only when you've actually been told.question felt or plaswad for you?
