I did some looking around last night and discovered that they do unscrew. I'll give it a try later this week.

I am not convinced that I shoot it so poorly because it is short and light. I have missed too many straight away pheasants and quail with it. However, I cannot provide a better explanation at this point. So, operator error seems to be the only viable explanation, regardless of how I feel about my shooting abilities.

I'll shoot it some more and see what happens. I'll try swapping beads between the two guns too and see how that changes things.

It has been an interesting comparison to play with so far.
