Encore shotgun sight help
March 10, 2012, 04:21:47 PM
I'm having trouble sighting in my encore shotgun. No matter how I adjust the rear sight it's shooting 18" high. Mine only came with one front bead, but it seems like it needs a higher front bead to bring the pattern down. Any suggestions? Help is much appreiciated.

What kind of sights are on it ? Can you post a picture?

It's got the standard fiber optic sight with an adjustable rear and front bead. I think I read somewhere that it was supposed to come with a low front bead as well as a high one. I could be wrong, but I'm sure having fits with this thing.

I have a 12 and 20 and they both came with 1 sight. With the rear sight screwed down as far as it will go it still shoots high ?

Thanks for the responses. Yes, when it was tightened all the way down it still shot 16-18" high. Any thoughts?

You might call Tru Glo and see if they sell a higher front .

I have one and had the same problem. Even with the rear screwed all the way down. It was even higher with NITRO'S . I called TC and they sent me a taller front. Now it shoots where it is supposed to. Give them a call.

Well, after talking to TC, it appears the 20 guage front sight was put on my 12 guage barrel. They are sending a replacement. Mine is 3/8" now and should be just under 1/2". That should do it!
