Something else that is well worth doing if you know how to do it yourself.

That is patterning your shotgun.

The reason being, no shotguns throws exactly the same pattern with every load one may use.

Some shoot loose patterns with one brand and load while shooting nice tight groups with another load or brand. Some even shoot hollow centered patterns with a particular load.

So some times the reason a person misses a lot has more to do with the ammo he chose then fit or aim.

Changing shotguns can eliminate the problem as can changing loads.
But you'll never know why one shotgun hits well in a shooters hand while another does not if you never pattern that load in that shotgun.

Fit is not always the answer. Gun manufactures figured out long ago how to make their shotguns fit the average guy reasonably well, but none have yet to figure out how to make their guns shoot every load well.
