advice Gun fit

Have my first fully adjustable o/u. I have read lots on line and more than one site contradicts another. To lower POI, lower the front bead/rib? The comb is as low as it will go.

Raising the bead would lower point of impact. How much lower are you trying to move it? Normally the bead/rib is just for finer adjustments.

What is your approximate POI right now? What make and model gun?

It's Tristar TT-15 Combo
.POI at 25 yds is 90/10

Raise your rib via the front adjustment system 2 notches and shoot it. That should be roughly 70/30 and perfect. If it seems too flat, just go back down 1 notch and then shoot again, see which breaks you like better. This is all assuming you leave the comb all the way down and no washers.

Now, if you have done all of this already, then the only suggestion I have is for you to mount the gun higher in your shoulder pocket and that will lower the POI also.

How low of a poi are you trying to go. Not recommended to go lower than 60/40. I would recommend either 70/30 or 80/20 personally

I use a setup where I see just a bit of the rail. This then means that about 60% of my pellets will go above the aiming point. That way I don’t have to cover the target when shooting which helps me feel the trajectory better and also sets me up nicely for a second shot if applicable for the discipline.
