Friends who does not shoot well

I had that problem once with a brand new 11-87. Went a wopping 0-25 on the trap field. Found out the gun was shooting about 4 feet low. Have him pattern his sg. May or may not be the answer. Also if he's shooting a 12ga have him try a 20ga. May help.

Some of the first 11-87 shotguns that had screw in chokes were messed up. The screw ins were mis-aligned. I also had one. Rem replaced the barrel. I also had an 11-87 that didn't have screw ins..They did make a few. That first Rem Choke bbl was off by at least 3 ft. I also had a fellow bring a Browning invector barrel to me that was off by that far too. One of the few things I sent to Browning that they didn't argue about..They replaced it..but it took 'em 3 months..or more.

I had a very long explanation for this but these guys tell the story much better:

A properly fitting shotgun is 99% of the struggle and to never, ever, look at the bead.
