I made these in an Hour to be held on my rib W.Silicone, easy take off and clean I got a Flash reflectrion, but they were made from a 3/8ths X 1/2 Aluminum alloy bar stock like the big piece above them
The last one is a better Pic, showing various Positions. Now I need to make a set of longer posts by 1/2"inch GB.........................DLS
Doc, Not sure if I understand correctly. Do these go on the rib at the mid-bead location? If I remember correctly the original Perazzi MX 9 came with a set of mid-bead blocks of varying height which would allow the shooter to adjust the POI. I always thought that was a great idea.
No, I just installed one and will take a picture and show you, it is at the Ramp at the rear of the rib, and I just see the front Bead base, For Max Height POI, Waiting for the silicone to dry/set up.
I made longer posts using M4 Screws and 14 Small Hole Fender washers stacked for ridgity/strength, The bead comes up perfectly w/o and adjustments for me, I will approximate the POI over the Max Rib Height Adjustments @ 22"In @35 yards, This is on the New 32"in O/U Bbl I got a week or so ago, from a Kentucky Shooter. Will shoot it in the next day or Two on some Hdcp targets. Getting Ready for the " AMERICAN TRAPSHOOTER CHAMPIONSHIP SHOOT" For those tough 1180fps 1 Ounce 7 1/2s @ 55-60 yards Wide Angles & Climbers. I have a little over 2 Hours in the set up.

This is what I came up with several years ago Sight picture Same as Doc, worked wonders I also had to make up higher posts on my lathe to get my comb to the proper height to crush targets. Then to eliminate seeing the huge space between the beads, I made the small ramp, and now I just rest the front bead on it to be sure my head is on the stock the same each time
DR. -- Nice to see I am not the only one to think out side of the box, -- Got ribbed big time when I showed up with mine this spring .
You guys are going to end up in the Hall of Fame with all of these new fangled things and ideas ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
I got it now Doc! Good idea practicing with the slower 1 oz shells. We have both shot more than our fair share of extra wide and super fast targets but I have NEVER shot them with a 1 oz shell below 1200 fps. Usually more along the line of 1.25 oz of Kentucky 9's at close to 1300. It's going to be a fun shoot!
Don you got that right, I like 1 oz #6s @1250-1320fps, have been shooting that load for years. I love wide angles and Climbers, and those Low Scooters. I shot the bunker at CC against their best shooter I broke a 49-50 and used 2nd shot twice w/my brand new CG I had just gotten and never fired before, it was a 34" Un-single and a 32" o/u with double release triggers. I told them that was my first Bunker shoot, they could not believe, they said your a natural, to me it is Instinct shooting. GB................................DLS
