Hi all, amateur IPSC shooter here. I own a Remington Versamax Competition Tactical for about half a year now. It's my first competition shotgun but I had some experience shooting sporting clay for a couple of years with my O/U shotgun. I've have had fairly good result with my VMCT. I won 2 local L2 IPSC matches. However, I screwed up the slug stage in the very first match as I kept missing the clay target until I ran out of slugs on my belt so I had to stop. Later I discovered that my VMCT shoots slug 3" high and 3" right at about 20 yards. I also let other shooters that I shoot with to try shooting slugs with my VMCT. Their result is the same, about 3" high and 3" to the right so gun mounting is likely not the cause. Shots taken from a rest and off-hand produced the same POI. Luckily VMCT has a rear sight and it's movable. Here's the photo before the fix. To fix the POI being high, I filed the rear sight forming a groove in the center. This brings the front sight down hence the POI also down. It looks something like this. To fix the POI being to the right, I moved the rear sight to the left bringing the front sight to the left hence the POI. Now the rear sight is sticking out too much on the left side so I filed it down. Here's the final looks. By doing this, it brought the POI very close to POA. Maybe still 0.5" or 1" to the right at 20 yards but it's as far as this rear sight can go without being too awkward and it's acceptable for me at this point. Otherwise I need to make a groove off the left side instead of center with the new rear sight. Here's the YT VDO of me shooting slug stage in the recent local IPSC match before the fix. POA was held at 3" 7:30 o'clock of clay target. I was able to hit the clay target in a single shot twice. Stage Result Points: 66/70 Time: 21.61s Hit Factor: 3.05 Stage points: 48.9579 Stage overall percent: 69.94% Stage score overall rank: #4 Maybe my solution was not the best but it did help reduced POI issue I had. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks. -
I picked up a Very gently used Ruger LCR-X 3". The front sight is white and fixed with a fully adjustable rear sight. I can shoot with both eyes open. I shot consistantly low. I did adjust the rear sight to raise it. But I still seemed low. I only shot 50 shots. I seemed to shoot the 158 grain bullets better than the lighter 125 grain bullets. My sight picture was centered and flat across the top like in the manual. I am wondering if I need the bottom of the white flush with the bottom of the rear sight. Thus elevating the gun. Ideally i I would like a 6:00 hold. I have read read that the trigger is unique and it is me doing it. I dry fired extendively before going to the range. So I thought I had the trigger figured out. The recoil is very mild and controllable to me. The nice grip is the reason I suspect. So has anyone else been down this road ?

Just replaced some aftermarket tritium sights on my P-01 that were shooting about 2 inches low at 7-8 yards. I purchased and had a gunsmith install these (not sure about the weird links to CZC right now): 1) https://02b665f.netsolstores.com/CZ-Tactical-Rear-Sight.aspx (part #10100, Tactical Rear Sight Standard Dovetail, states on the 75 it will require the 6.5mm front sight, perhaps this assumes the full size 75 and not the compact?) 2) https://02b665f.netsolstores.com/CZ-Fiber-Optic-Front-Sight-6.5mm-0.100-with-1.0mm-FibreRod.aspx (part #10409, FO front sight 6.5mm-0.100 with 1.0mm fiber rod) After installing the new sights I'm still getting POI 2 inches low from POA at 7-8 yards. I'm guessing I got the wrong front sight? Any insight here? I assuming I should purchase a new front sight at the height to 6.0mm or even 5.5mm height. I prefer the POI just above the POA for the game we play. I searched the forum for a post I recall reading a few months ago on that concept, but I wasn't able to find it. Thanks in advance for humoring me...
