When I bought my Ljutic trap gun several years ago, the guy I bought it from was with me when I first shot it and he told me that I had to come right up to the target to break the bird. The gun wasn't set up for me and I noticed the beads weren't stacked like they should be. So, I adapted to the gun. That was perfect for me because like Al Ljutic said, you should wait for the target to reach it's apex when you shoot it. That is the way I do it- it makes the target appear to be stationary. And not rising. So I figured the gun shoots about 45/55 or even 40/60 POI which is okay for me, because, I have occasionally had the habit of over running the target. And sometimes when I do over run the target, for a split second I think oh-no. Then all of a sudden- powder!! Works for me. Also, the barrel on that gun is 33" which is kind of rare.
