Lee,

When a gun shoots too high, there are two ways to correct it: raise the front sight or lower the back sight.

Email me at rollin@stockfitting.com. Put "POI calculator in the subject line and in reply, I will attach an automatic POI calculator that will tell you how much you would need to lower the back sight to make the gun shoot lower. You can use that information to determine how much to raise the front sight.

To use the calculator however, you will need to have Microsoft Office on your computer because the calculator uses MS Office's Excel to do the mathematical computation.

 

These are snap on type sights so I don't see any way to move them farther. The front is fixed and the rear I removed the elevation screw to get it as far down as possible. So I'm thinking I'll look at just getting a front bead or tru glo wing shooting type sight.

I will email you and thanks.

 

Here is how high I was above POA, POA was the piece of tape at bottom.

 

hey bud you should try differnt ammo cause some guns react differnt to ammo esspecialy in the case with shotguns and buck or bird shot. Also try adjusting your sitght picture by purchasing a length of pull kit or so some type of cheek riser.

Hey BUD.......he is already shooting HIGH. He does NOT want to raise his cheek any higher as that would only compound the problem!!

 

A acquittance of was a big time turkey hunter and he always used a red dot on his 1100 auto-loader. He said it was the best sight for the purpose and easiest to get on target? :mrgreen:

 

That's a good pattern, what load and choke are you using ?

 

A red dot sight is the only way to go for such a rig, IMO.

But before you switch iron sights, try the same load and sight picture at 50 and 75 yards. You may find that the POI is right on the money at maximum range.

Federal 2.75" tactical hd low recoil #1 buck. Don't let that sway you from hunting deer with it. Its a little slower than some buckshot but the pattern should make up for it plus I read #1 penetrates better than 00.

read my post again, I tried different loads.

I have now corrected the problem by adding about 1/16" height to the front sight, I'm not using a rear sight just a fiber (bead) on front.

 

Mossberg supplies shims to add more "drop" to you stock, which may also help.

If you don't have them, call Mossberg, they'll probably send you a set for free...

so I guess there is not a thing called sight picture and sight alignment then, " if " there is and he raises his cheek to the relation of the sights then the shot is lower WOW IT REALLY WORKS!

 

well i guess he's got it all figured out must not needed much help after all !!!
