Gun Fitting
While the latest developments of the combat and target rifles widely utilise the adjustable stocks, the fit was and remains extremely important for the competition and hunting shotguns. This is due to a shooting at flying target, which requires pointing rather than aiming. Pointing is a rapid intuitive motion, combined with concentration on the flying target and leading it. In such conditions, with limited time and multiple variables only the correct fit of the gun ensures that the impact is where the shooter is expecting. The main way of fitting the gun in the past was bending the stock in a special cradle while applying the hit to a grip area. WE STILL PROVIDE THIS SERVICE. However, the stock bending is more suitable for the thin, oil-finished, straight (English) stocks, rather than for the pistol-gripped bulky ones, which are so popular today. The alternative to bending is installation of adjustable butt and comb devices such as Graco, Bump-Buster and other. |
| Fitting the gun to a shooter is a process of changing the stock geometry so that the dominant eye of the shooter can be lined up with the sights or the top rib of the gun, while shouldering it correctly. |
| There are 5 major geometrical dimensions of the stock that have to be adjusted for the proper fit of the gun to a shooter:
