The comb adjustment for point-of-impact is an easy and effective way to change the trajectory of a shot. A shim system or cast-off is one way to adjust the height of the comb. Different adjustments may be required depending on the results. This article will show you three ways to adjust point-of impact combs. A simple but effective casting-off method will also be covered.
Using a shim system 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. To raise the comb first remove the stock bolt and insert the shim. After that, insert a thin, flat shim, like a flat-wood toothpick. Another option is to attach a piece 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. There are many options for adjusting the comb height. Shim kits can be purchased for this purpose. A shimkit will raise the comb up to one inch at a given time. Recoil pads are another option to adjust the comb height or cast.
Cast-off
Changing the point of impact of your rifle is a simple process that requires proper 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 about 16 yards away. Once you've established the correct compass elevation, adjust the casting of your gun. You can raise the comb by 1/8 inch if your rifle's point-of-impact is too high or too low. To compensate for shooting to the left or right, raise your comb one inch and adjust the cast. A sheet test is also an option to verify the shooting position.
Cast-off comb adjustments are a common feature on many new shotguns. 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. You can combine the cast-off and cast on combs.
Using a figure 8
Using a fig 8 for point-of-impact comb adjustment is not a bad idea, but there are some disadvantages as well. You will first need to adjust the sight picture. If you adjust the comb to center of figure-8, there won't be any significant change in your POI. Second, move your eye.
