Shotgun pattern look ok?

[swanderek]

New sx4 Winchester.
Full choke Carson's
Shooting 8shot.
This is about 7 shots. To me the gun shoots high left.
I tried buckshot and shots were all high left.
Does this look normal?
( I was aiming for the shoot and see sticker)

Looks good... How far???

[swanderek]

35 yards

[EnglishSetter]

1 bead or 2? 

Shotguns are commonly regulated to shoot high depending on the game they are targeting.  Few shoot 50:50.  60:40 for sporting and 70:30 for trap are common goals, but without discreet rear sights individual shooters will vary.

1 front bead

Setter is correct on factory POI but everyones face and shoulder are different.  If you want to know where your gun is shooting, do it 1 shot per paper off a bench at 13 yards.  That will tell you your POI.  I can't recall the math reason but 13 yards is the magic number for POI. 

  Its a field gun so there is no comb adjustment, what is your objective?  Using 8 shot so it is not your hunting load?

I'll try today from 13
Thanks!

Also if you find it really is shooting high, put a bigger front bead on it and that will correct the poi lower.  Good luck

IF you were "aiming" at the sticker, you have what is called in the trap world, a 70/30 pattern,  70% above POA and 30% below.  It would make a nice trap gun!

If you are shooting a field gun, add a little to the comb and see what happens, won't take much.

Good luck

Do you keep both eyes open or squint. Left eye or right closed?

[Kingofthemountain83]

Use a cardboard box 

[swanderek]

Left eye closed.
It's a sx4 and they don't come with stock shims.
I'm still learning the terms like comb

[swanderek]

Bench 13 yards
Little left still
