Thanks for the replies guys. I never realized that this was a common problem. I also never heard of a shim adjusting method on any shotgun. Tomorrow I'm gonna get a peep and a box of sixes and see what I can do. G.C. your reply was especially helpful. So it's an individual gun thing. That is very good to know. As far as looking down the barrel versus over the barrel, I dunno. lol. All I know is I wacked my nose with my trigger hand on the first shot. Hurt like heck. I was standing. It was about 20 below windchill so I was kind of in a hurry. Tomorrow I'll haul the bench out and do it right.
870 you been out in this weather? lol. I actually did a couple stands Friday night. It wasn't too bad when the wind died down. I put on 5 layers, two hats and my snowboard mittens on over my fleece mittens. There was deer everywhere so I figured the coyotes would be feeding too, getting prepared for the really cold stuff. I had one come in and circle downwind about 150 yards out and then bug out. It sucked. The first time I left the .204 in the truck on this piece of land. If I would of had it with me it would have been dead. I doubt I'll get out until Wednesday. It's not getting any better anytime soon. I think last wednesday and thursday would have been the best time to be out.
