60/40 70/30 is the percentage of the pattern above point of aim. 50/50 is equal. 60/40 prints a pattern slightly high. 70/30 is even higher. I had a gun that printed 80/20 roughly. For trap on a rising bird I had a lot of sky between the bead an the bird. I quickly sold that gun. I prefer flat shooting field guns as that's what I grew up with waterfowling

My only more recent complaint about my new to me 28 M37, stock fit.
I look at the comb and it's a lot higher then an older M37/M87. Even the Model 500 SKB made for Ithaca fits me better, with a natural point that I have always enjoyed with other shotguns.
Thankfully the M37 Waterfowl has the same synthetic butt stock very common on some older M87s.
Like I said, to me the higher comb (on the newest guns) almost represents a trap gun versus a field gun with a lower comb. I suspect some recent misses went over the upland birds.
Not to slam the newer M37, but I have have had much more luck with a 1971 made M37 Featherlight in 20 gauge.
hhmm
