Amen, gunman. I learned this for myself after building my grease plate. Even how tightly you grip the gun can affect where that pattern goes.

A rifle shoots it's best groups when held exactly the same each shot, and often will group the tightest with the least amount of grip being applied to it by the shooter, thus allowing it to recoil unhindered each shot. Why would a shotgun behave any differently?

Thanks for that post. SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.
