....I'm going to try shooting the plate with it again and play around with holding it more loosely, to allow it to recoil more, instead of gripping it so tightly. I can't believe I didn't think of that already, understanding the dynamics of it as I do. Sometimes it's right there looking at you and you can't see it. this....
Just curious Stan, do you consider that this is a gun that fits you properly?
I'd think that if you can correct pattern placement by changing the distribution and amount of pressure that the different parts of your body apply to the gun, that it might be a bunch more easy just to mount the gun normally and hold off on the target.
I'm not trying to argue with your line of investigating, but if I had a gun that quirky I doubt I'd even pull it out to use, worried that I'd feel like heaving it for distance.
