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 need to be made depending on the results. This article will show you three ways to adjust point-of impact combs. We'll also show you a simple and effective casting-off procedure.
You can adjust the height or depth of your comb by using a shim.
To adjust the point at which a shotgun hits the ground, one way is to raise the or lower the comb. To raise the head of the comb, you need to first loosen the bolt and insert a shhim. You can then insert a thin piece of shim (e.g. a flat, wood toothpick). An adhesive-backed moleskin is also an option.
Before you can use a shim to adjust the height of the comb, it is important that you first know whether or not the stock will be affected. There are many options for adjusting the comb height. Shim kits can be purchased for this purpose. A shim kit can raise the comb by one inch at a time. Another way to adjust the height and cast of your comb is with a recoil pad.
Cast-off
Changing the point of impact of your rifle is a simple process that requires proper compass height. Aim your rifle at a distant target to set the correct comb height. The target should be at least 16 yards away. Once you have determined the right compass height for your gun, adjust its cast. The comb can be adjusted to adjust the rifle's point at impact by raising it 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 new shotguns feature a cast-off comb adjustment. Cast-off combs can shift your point of impact up or down to compensate for the shooter's facial structure. Cast-off combs can be especially helpful for right-handers who have large chests or wide-spaced eyes. A cast-off comb and a cast-on gun can be combined.
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. First of all, you'll need to adjust your sight picture. You won't notice a difference in your POI if your comb is adjusted to the center line of the figure-8. Second, move your eye.
