[QUOTE="bigv, post: 329150, member: 835"] Im not cross eyed dominant. All three of these chokes shot very well and dead center of target at 25. I bought the franchi affinity 3 EL which I think stands for Elite. These chokes came with which are suppose to be designed for waterfowl hunters in mind I guess. I'm quite sure it is the rise of barrel as my berrettas don't do what this gun does. I do know the how the rise of the comb fits a person is crucial. I had a dealer in a store years ago watch me shoulder a super black eagle and then yelled "freeze!" He said right away that the gun doesn't fit me right. He asked if I could see barrel and I said yes even kind of two of them. He said comb is wrong for me. I either need to shim it and or shoot way more to get use to putting my nose even further down. Which isn't most comfortable. He had mentioned when shouldering a gun you shouldn't see barrel just bead at end. Thats how my extrema's are. I am only going off what this fella showed me and it makes sense. When you practice pulling up and freezing at a point where you're ready to shoot. See where barrel is. On this franchi the barrel seems to rise up off my nose if that makes sense? Where as my berretta goes straight out. We had birds come it toe nails down this weekend. Killed with first shot and swung on a second bird. It was 20yd. I shot twice and never drew a feather. Did this two times. I think I was shooting right over bird?
