Hello,
I was wanting to get my Extrema II shooting a little higher, so I changed the stock shims.... I achieved the desired pattern height, but now I am shooting about 6" left of center (about 6"-8" high, which is what I was wanting).
I shot the gun this morning two times and let a friend shoot it once, and all three shots (new paper each shot) was high and about 6" to the left... The height is great, just can't figure out how I have got it shooting to the left.
I used the C-50 DX plastic shim in the front with the C-50 DX facing the butt end of the gun (thin side toward the top and thin side toward the right) and inside the stock I used the metal spacer also with the C-50 DX facing the butt end of the gun (that positions the hole low and to the left).
This should be the correct way to set the shim/spacer I thought, but perhaps I am mistaken???
Just curious if anyone has any ideas how I ended up shooting to the left, or how to get it centered back up?
If it matters we were shooting Kent Fasteel 3 1/2" number 4 shot through a Patternmaster extended tube at about 20yds.... This combo was shooting good, although a little too flat for me before the shim/spacer adjustment.
Thanks for your time!
