A comb adjustment at point of impact (comb adjustment) is a simple but effective technique to alter the trajectory of shots. You can adjust the height of your comb by using a shim, cast-off, or a figure 8. Different adjustments may be necessary depending on how the results turn out. This article will describe three methods of adjustment for point-of-impact combs. We'll also cover a simple, yet effective, casting-off method.
A shim system is used to raise and lower the comb.
The simplest way to adjust the shotgun's point of impact is to raise or lower its comb. To raise the comb first remove the stock bolt and insert the shim. You can then insert a thin piece of shim (e.g. a flat, wood toothpick). Another option is to attach a piece adhesive-backed moleskin.
First, determine whether the shim system will increase/ decrease the stock's height. Shim kits are available for this purpose, and they can be used for several adjustments. A shim kit will allow you to raise your comb by 1 inch. Recoil pads are another option to adjust the comb height or cast.
Use a cast-off
It's easy to adjust the point-of-impact of your rifle. You will need a proper compass height. You will need to aim your rifle at an object at a distance in order to adjust the comb height. The target should be approximately 16 yards from your rifle. After you have established the correct compass height, you can adjust the gun's cast. Adjust the cast of your gun to correct a rifle's excessive point of impact. To compensate for shooting to the left or right, raise your comb one inch and adjust the cast. You can also do a sheet test to verify your shooting position.
Many shotguns now have a cast-off adjustment. Cast-off combs allow you to adjust your point of impact to match the facial structure of the shooter. Cast-off combs can be especially helpful for right-handers who have large chests or wide-spaced eyes. The cast-off combing can also be used in conjunction with a casting gun.
Using a fig 8
A fig 8 is a good choice for point of-impact comb adjustment. However, there are disadvantages. First of all, you'll need to adjust your sight picture. If you adjust the comb to center of figure-8, there won't be any significant change in your POI. You will also need to move your eyes.
