I need some gun help(updated)

Are you mounting the stock too high on your shoulder?? That would cause the low hits.

[mikey715]

May be doing that,preparing for a sore shoulder as you say??

Well, I took the choke out yesterday and put the factory full in.  The factory full centered the target and threw a good even pattern. I put the Indian Creek back in and hit low and left.  I put the Full back in and centered the target.  I put the Indian Creek back in and hit low and left.

I talked to a friend that shoots a Browning Silver, which is really similar to the X3, and he said his gun didn't like a tight constriction like the IC .665.  So, I purchased a Kicks .675 yesterday and am going to try it out.  I do feel better now knowing, or thing I know, what my problem is.

I'll shoot again today, keep ya fingers crossed.

That's good news, knew had to be something that was easily fixable vs. a bent barrel or something like that.

It may be worthwhile contacting IC and swap out the chokes just to see if there isn't something with that particular choke causing it to shift your PoI vs. PoA.

Here's an update... This is with a Kicks Gobblin Thunder .670... I've seen better patterns, but I'm tickled with the pattern I have now.
After shooting my factory full, the Indian Creek, and now the Kicks, I've come to the conclusion that something happened to my Indian Creek
choke.  If this choke, gun, and shell combo will do this every time I squeezed the trigger, it'll be used for quite a while by me.  What'd ya say?

At a ranged 41

At a ranged 32

Ryan-- I believe if you talk to them at Indian Creek and tell them your situation they will work with you to get another choke.  The have very good customer service and will try to make it right.

Ryan I would second this... something happened.  I told MO to let you know to scrub that choke and make sure no wad residue is in the Wad Catchers!

what shells did you use when you patterened it with the kicks choke?  they look pretty good.
