A comb adjustment at point of impact (comb adjustment) is a simple but effective technique to alter the trajectory of shots. One common method to alter the height of a comb is with a cast-off or a Shim system. Different adjustments might be needed depending on what the results are. This article will discuss three methods to adjust the point of impact comb. We'll also talk about a simple, but highly effective casting off method.
To raise or lower your comb, use a shim.
A comb adjustment is one of the most straightforward ways to adjust a shotgun's point-of-impact. To raise the head of the comb, you need to first loosen the bolt and insert a shhim. Then, insert a thin shim, such as a flat wood toothpick. Another option is to use an adhesive-backed moleskin.
If you are using a shim system to adjust the comb height, you must first determine whether it will increase or decrease the height of the stock. Shim kits are available for this purpose, and they can be used for several adjustments. A shimkit can increase the comb's height by one inch. A recoil pad is another way to adjust the comb height and cast.
Using 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 be approximately 16 yards from your rifle. Once you have adjusted the compass height to the target, adjust your gun's casting. If your rifle's point of impact is too high or low, raise the comb 1/8 inch. To compensate for shooting to the left or right, raise your comb one inch and adjust the cast. To confirm your shooting position, you can also perform a sheet test.
Many new shotguns feature a cast-off comb adjustment. Cast-off or angled combs can be used to adjust the angle of your point, or vice versa, depending on how the shooter is shaped. Cast-offs combs are particularly useful for right-handers with wide eyes and large chests. A cast-off comb and a cast-on gun can be combined.
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. 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. Second, you'll need to move your eye.
