A comb adjustment is a quick and easy way to alter the trajectory. 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 show you three ways to adjust point-of impact combs. We'll also talk about a simple, but highly effective casting off method.
Using a shim system to raise or lower the comb
It is easy to adjust the impact point on a shotgun by raising or lowering the comb. First, loosen the stock bolt. Then insert a shim. Insert a thin shim like a flat wooden toothpick. 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
The simplest way to alter the point of contact of your rifle is to use a compass. To set the correct comb height, aim your rifle at a target at a distance. The target should be at least 16 yards away. Once you have determined the right compass height for your gun, adjust its cast. You can raise the comb by 1/8 inch if your rifle's point-of-impact is too high or too low. To adjust for the difference in shooting direction, raise the length of the comb by an inch. You can also do a sheet test to verify your shooting position.
Many new shotguns feature a cast-off comb adjustment. Cast-offs combs adjust the point at which you hit to account for facial structure. Cast-off combs are especially useful for right-handers with large chests and wide spaced eyes. Cast-off combs can be combined with cast guns.
Using a figure 8
It is possible to adjust your point-of -impact comb adjustment using a fig 8, but it does have its drawbacks. You will first need to adjust the sight picture. If you adjust your comb to the center of the figure-8, you won't see a significant difference in your POI. Second, your eye must be moved.
