I would like to adjust the drop and add some cast on to my 535. I recently purchased a 930 that came with a shim kit that I think I can use on the 535. Adding drop is easy enough as the shims are labelled but how can I add cast on? I'm thinking that I should sand the left side of the shim? Use half a shim? Too aggressive? Currently I shoot 6-8" high and 2-3" right at 40 yards.
Sights or a scope will fix that .

Yeah I've tossed around the possibility of both those options. I can't justify spending the money on a scope/red dot when the shotgun itself is only worth a couple hundred dollars. I wouldn't mind some sights but I'm worried there won't be enough room for adjustment. I currently have the crappy factory fibre optic sights at their lowest level and I'm still 8" high.
Has anyone had luck with a particular brand of aftermarket sights? I was looking at the TruGlo Pro Series Magnum Gobble Dot but reviews weren't favourable.
I have the truglo red dot sight. It has only been on my gun for one year but no complaints so far. Shoot 3.5 inch loads.

Maybe you'll find this to be helpful.
"Cast is the windage adjustment on a shotgun. It's a lateral bend in the stock designed to center your dominant eye over the rib. Shooters with wider, rounder faces or narrowly set eyes often need cast, while many thin-faced shooters can shoot uncast stocks (most American gunstocks have no cast, whereas many European guns do). Right-handed shooters need "cast off," a bend to the right; lefties need "cast on." If you want to adjust cast on a pump or a semi-auto shotgun use a toothpick shim. Loosen the bolt and wedge the shim lengthwise along the stock head opposite the direction you want to bend the stock."In this case, the writer is using a toothpick but you can use a shim, one you have or one you make. I've used pieces of credit cards that I've sanded and cut to shape. It's a matter of fitting and can take some time to get it just right. A little goes a long way.
Thanks,
