May 21, 2009 · Given a target at any range, a 50/50 (flat shooting gun) POI (point of impact) will put half of the pattern above the point of aim and half below below it. Enter the fly in the ointment: Whatever POI a gun shoots, it patterns that way ONLY …

May 29, 2024 · I see guns described as "flat" or, how Browning touts the CXS 50/50, CX 60/40 and CXT 70/30. With what I*think* I've come to understand about how shotguns work, how can a gun have a POI figure independent of an individual shooter's eye?

A 50/50 pattern -- with half above and half below -- would be common for many of our hunting guns. The chart should give you a good idea of how it is calculated and how you can confirm your POI on your shotgun.

Oct 12, 2009 · Either 50/50 or 60/40 (or somewhere in between) is good for skeet. REMEMBER - THAT WHEN YOU CHECK POI, TO CHECK IT AT THE DISTANCE THAT YOU BREAK MOST OF YOUR TARGETS. I believe that around 20 yards is an average distance for skeet. POI changes with distance from shooter to target.

You will get a pretty good idea of POI (cener of pattern) with the test above. Shotguns from the factory vary significantly on POI. Some are 50/50: that is, half of your pattern will be above your point of aim (the bull’s-eye dot you shoot at) and half will be below.

Oct 9, 2012 · Based on recent remarks written by Leo and how surprised he was watching himself working over the target as he put, one can assume he's shooting a very flat gun which probably 50/50. This would make sense having been weened on a 1100.

Confused about Shotgun Point of Impact? Well, don't be. There are endless references to 60/40, 70/30, 50/50, but that is really the long way home. It is far simpler than that. Take a look at the following reference chart courtesy of Browning at Arnold, Missouri. It is just that simple.

Feb 2, 2011 · If your gun patterns dead on at 13yds, that would equate to 50/50. Each 1/8" you raise your comb from there will raise your POI about 4.5" at 40 yards. A 1" raise in your comb would result in a POI of roughly 36" high at 40 yards....
