Went trap shooting for the first time a couple weeks ago. Hit 7 out of 50, horrible, but I've never shot at a moving target before and didn't expect anything really. I felt I was shooting low and wondered about "moving" the POI. I've been told that raising the comb by 1/16" (.0625") will raise the POI by roughly 2 inches at 30 yards. Is this more or less true?
The shotgun I'm using has an adjustable comb so raising it by 1/4", 1/2", or 3/4" is non issue. I understand that practice and patterning rather then gun modifications will improve my game but I'm a curious fellow.
In this case raising it by 1/4" would raise the POI 8" at 30 yards, which is a bit much but maybe not. Not super concerned if my math is 100% but rather if raising the comb will in fact result in a higher POI.
So does raising the comb raise the POI or did I misunderstand something?
