It allows fitment of an adjustable rib system on a two barrel set and an unsigle barrel on the same platform.

I'm a one eyed shooter, shoot a real high ribbed gun. Used to hold on the back of the house. Started holding 6" high above the front of the house it helped me.

Look @ the hold points on S&W whiz Whites website.

I am a one eyed shooter and shoot a high ribbed top single. My hold points are high and wide compared to most others. I look around the gun, not waiting for the bird to appear over the barrel. I concentrate on the bird and the barrel comes to the bird. Never seem to hard focus on the barrel/rib. Much less chasing of the bird this way. That's from the 16yd line. From 27 HC I hold a lower gun, top of trap house, and closer to center. I must concentrate on seeing the bird ASAP and move quickly and smoothly to the bird. Works for me. Marc

 

I'm one eyed and have been shooting a high rib gun just about my entire trap life (2006). I have tried to shoot a Seitz and a K80 TS but never could feel comfortable. Now, if you believe what "the book" says, one eyed shooters should shoot a top single low rib gun. I guess "the book" can be wrong at times. I shoot very high, about 80/20 on my Beretta and hold the front bead at the front of the house (furthest) roof line, as suggested by Nora Ross (who is pretty good).

I shoot with both eyes open and use a hooded fiber optic front bead to help with occasional crossfiring. I carry a tape patched left lens in my shooting bag just in case. In good light conditions I can shoot with the high rib gun but in bad light I have trouble using the mass of the barrel instead of shooting off the rib. The rib and front bead are very transparent to me with both eyes open. My conventional rib MX3 is more intuitive to point than the high rib TMX.

 

I myself can hold above the house and shoot a flat rib without difficulty in acquiring target path. But prefer down around the lid except for certain clubs or headwinds where I may go above or actually several inches below. But damned if I can get comfortable with any of them high ribbed barrels.

 

I shoot a Caesar Guerini Magnus and am a one-eyed shooter.

I usually hold at the roof line (same as Blade) for 2, 3 and 4 but hold just outside and below the roof line on 1 and 5. Exceptions to those hold points are windy days depending on how hi or low the bird flies. I try to keep the same vertical movement at all times. When the bird varies I will take the low hold points as it is easier (at least for me) to catch a rising bird than a dropping one.

 

High Rib doesnt necessarily mean high POI. I can set up a high rib gun to shoot fairly flat if they are adjustable. However, some high rib guns are fixed rib and shoot a full pattern high by design. Most of those guns are useless to a low holding one eyed shooter due to the gun speed and distance required to address the target. So YES, you can shoot a high rib gun successfully using a one eyed format if it is set up properly.

I shoot a CG Maxmum and I am a one eyed shooter,the thing that the high rib does for me is to give me a better sight picture because I am holding my head up. It did take a little adjusting of the gun to get it right but it works great. I put the bottom of my barrel on the top of the trap house and as the other person said on 1 and 5 low an outside the corner.
