A comb adjustment to point of impact is an effective and simple technique to change the trajectory. 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. We'll also show you a simple and effective casting-off procedure.
Using a shim system to raise or lower the comb
One of the easiest ways to adjust the point of impact on a shotgun is to raise or lower the comb. To raise the comb, first loosen the stock bolt and insert a shim. You can then insert a thin piece of shim (e.g. a flat, wood toothpick). Another option is to use an adhesive-backed moleskin.
To adjust the height of your comb, you will need to first establish whether the shim will increase or decrease in height. You can use shim kits for multiple adjustments. A shimkit can raise the comb one-inch at a time. Recoil pads can be used to adjust the cast and height of the comb.
Using a cast-off
The simplest way to alter the point of contact of your rifle is to use a compass. Aim your rifle at a distant target to set the correct comb height. The target should be at least 16 yards away. After you have established the correct compass height, you can adjust the gun's cast. Adjust the cast of your gun to correct a rifle's excessive point of impact. If you shoot left or right, increase the comb by 1/8 inch and alter the cast to compensate. A sheet test can be used to verify the correct shooting position.
Cast-off comb adjustment is a feature of many new shotguns. Cast-off combs allow you to adjust your point of impact to match the facial structure of the shooter. Cast-offs combs are particularly useful for right-handers with wide eyes and large chests. The cast-off combing can also be used in conjunction with a casting gun.
A fig 8 is used
Although it is a good idea to use a fig8 for point-of impact comb adjustment, there are also some drawbacks. You'll first need to adjust your vision 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.

How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
Decoys are one of the most popular methods to hunt wild ducks. Live decoys are the best way to hunt wild ducks. They should be placed at a distance away from your blind, so you can view them from afar. Avoid hunting in windsy conditions, as the birds will flee very quickly. Also, if there are several hunters around, they might scare off some of the birds.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. If you don't know what kind of bird you're shooting, then you shouldn't shoot. It is important to have enough ammunition in your arsenal to shoot as many birds as possible.
If you end up killing many birds, it is important to wash and prepare the meat before you eat. It is best not to wait until the meat is done cooking. Once the meat is cooked remove all bones and feathers.
Wild ducks can often be found close to water. However, they may also be seen flying through fields and woods. They usually fly low to the ground, which makes them easier targets. If you're hunting wild ducks, it is important to remain hidden until you are close enough that you can make a shot. This means being quiet and still as you wait to take a shot.
