You can loosen the comb posts to adjust the comb for the desired point of impact. Once you've done that, slide the posts into the direction you desire for point of impact. Fire another shot to test the new point. You may need to adjust the comb again depending on the results. You can alter the point of impact by following the tips below.
Drop at Comb is the vertical distance that runs from the top to the middle of each rib.
A rifle should be aimed at a target using a full choke. This constricts the bore and gives the best range. This configuration is known as a fusil, after the 18th-century term for a light musket. A fusil has a high-carbon steel plate, called a frizzen, that is hinged backward and forward for priming and firing.
Wood comb
An adjustable comb is a great option if you need to quickly change your setup. These combs provide the same sight image as a fixed comb and can be adjusted between 50/50 and 8/20 depending on your point. Gunsmith shops usually have the hardware necessary to adjust your comb. Here are some methods to adjust the comb.
Adjustable comb
An adjustable comb is an excellent alternative to custom-made shotgun stock. Installing them will cost you between $300 and $400. They allow you to adjust your point of impact quickly with little effort. Washers can be used to adjust the comb's position on the posts. A set of 20 washers can be used to adjust the length of the comb from ten to fifteen inches. Start by placing the test sheet four inches below that line and three to the right. Once you have reached the center of the test-pattern, lift the combpost by three washers and move it left one eighth inch.
Adjustable buttplates
A point of impact (POI) adjustment can be done on most firearms by changing the height of the comb or by raising the front bead. To adjust the height of the wooden comb, you can sand the stock. A skilled gunsmith will be able to rehead and bend barrels and stock wood. Double-barreled firearms may need relaying and resoldering. This is why it's a good idea to hire an experienced gunsmith. A adjustable buttplate allows you to adjust the angle of the head.
Pivot-sensible adjustable buttplates
The Universal Bar must adjust for the point at which it will impact with the pivots. Its end plays should be free. The Universal Bar's U-Bar pivot lock nut must be tight. The Arm must be placed in the first or 2nd position on the adjusting plates post at the rear frame crossbar. The adjusting plate post must not be bent downward. After loosening a lock nut, you can adjust the pivot screw of the Universal Bar.
