NOTE – The front trigger fires the BOTTOM barrel and the rear
trigger fires the TOP barrel.
1. Load ONLY the bottom barrel and use the sights provided
on the top barrel to sight in the bottom barrel first.
Until the bottom barrel is sighted in DO NOT use the
top barrel or adjust any of the SET SCREWS in the barrel
jack. Start out by sighting in the bottom barrel at 25 to 50
yards maximum.
2. After the BOTTOM Barrel is sighted in at a maximum
of 50 yards, you may now proceed to load and sight in the
TOP barrel.
CAUTION
Do not load the bottom barrel during this procedure because you
are concentrating on ONLY sighting in the top barrel and do not
want to get confused or forget that you loaded the bottom barrel
causing an accidental discharge. There should not be a live 209
primer in any of the breech plugs at this time.
TOP BARREL ADJUSTMENT WITH BARREL JACK
UNDERSTANDING BARREL ADJUSTMENT
To move the point of impact of the bullet it is important to
understand how to adjust the Jack.
1. Load the TOP barrel with the same powder charge and
bullet to begin sighting in the barrel.
NOTE – You may load two different charges and bullets into the
top & bottom barrels but it is highly recommended that you
load the same charge and bullet when sighting in for the
first time.
2. Shoot a 3 shot group to find the point of impact for the TOP
barrel. Do not move sights or adjust set screws during this
procedure because you are only trying to find out where the
point of impact is on the target.

3. You have found the point of impact for the TOP barrel. Now
is the time to adjust the Barrel Jack with the set screws if
needed. You may not need to adjust this part if the TOP
barrel is close to the BOTTOM barrel.
ADJUSTING THE BARREL JACK
This can be a timely matter and you must have patience when
regulating the barrel.
NOTE – Make only small adjustments with the set screws
each time you adjust the barrel because by making
large movements in the jack will change your point
of impact greatly.
