Comb Adjustment For Point of Impact



snipe shooting

A comb adjustment to point of impact is an effective and simple technique to change the trajectory. A shim system or cast-off is one way to adjust the height of the comb. Different adjustments may need to be made depending on the results. This article will present three methods to adjust point of impactcomb. A simple but effective casting-off method will also be covered.

Use a shim to raise or lower the comb

To adjust the point at which a shotgun hits the ground, one way is to raise the or lower the comb. First, loosen the stock bolt. Then insert a shim. Next, insert a thin strip of shim such as a flat toothpick made from wood. Another option is to attach a piece adhesive-backed moleskin.

First, determine whether the shim system will increase/ decrease the stock's height. These shim kits can be used to adjust the height of your comb. A shimkit can raise the comb one-inch at a time. A recoil pad is another way to adjust the comb height and cast.


Use a cast-off

It is easy to change the point of impact on your rifle. This requires a good compass height. The best way to determine the correct comb height is to aim your rifle towards a target from a distance. The target should lie approximately 16 feet away. After you have established the correct compass height, you can adjust the gun's cast. If your rifle's point of impact is too high or low, raise the comb 1/8 inch. If you are shooting left or right, raise the comb by one inch and change the cast to compensate for the difference. To confirm your shooting position, you can also perform a sheet test.

Many shotguns now have a cast-off adjustment. Cast-off and adjustable combs can adjust the point of impact to accommodate facial structures. Cast-offs combs are particularly useful for right-handers with wide eyes and large chests. Cast-off combs can be combined with cast guns.
