A comb adjustment is a quick and easy way to alter the trajectory. You can adjust the height of your comb by using a shim, cast-off, or a figure 8. Different adjustments may be required depending on the results. This article will cover three methods for point of impact comb adjustment. A simple but effective casting-off method will also be covered.
Use a shim 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 your comb, remove the stock bolt first and then insert a small shim. Next, insert a thin strip of shim such as a flat toothpick made from wood. You can also use a piece of adhesive-backed moleskin.
You must determine if the shim system will increase or decrease the stock height before you use it. 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. A recoil pad is another way to adjust the comb height and cast.
Cast-off
The simplest way to alter the point of contact of your rifle is to use a compass. You will need to aim your rifle at an object at a distance in order to adjust the comb height. 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. If you shoot left or right, increase the comb by 1/8 inch and alter the cast to compensate. You can also do a sheet test to verify your shooting position.
Cast-off comb adjustments are a common feature on many new shotguns. Cast-off combs can shift your point of impact up or down to compensate for the shooter's facial structure. Cast-off combs are especially useful for right-handers with large chests and wide spaced eyes. You can combine the cast-off and cast on combs.
Use a fig 8.
Although it is a good idea to use a fig8 for point-of impact comb adjustment, there are also some drawbacks. Adjust your sight picture first. Adjust your comb so that it is in the center of the figure-8. You won't notice any difference in your POI. Second, you'll need to move your eye.

How To
How to build a Deer Blind
A deerblind is a type hunting device used for hiding from game animals, such as deer, elk, and so on. It consists of a small enclosure made of wood or canvas, usually covered with branches and leaves. The hunter hides inside the enclosure and waits for the animal to pass by. When hunting at night, a deer blind is frequently used.
There are many sizes and shapes of deer blinds. Some blinds can be moved easily while others require a permanent structure. These structures are usually made of plywood, cardboard, plastic or canvas and metal.
The most common types of deer blinds are box blinds (also called box stands), which consist of a wooden box with a roof and walls. Boxes are popular due to their ease of construction and transportation.
Another type of deer blind is a tree stand. Tree stands look natural and are so natural that nobody would be able to tell they exist. Most tree stands can be permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds can also be used, which are very similar to tree stands, but are built into the ground. Ground blinds are usually camouflaged in dirt, rocks or sand. Ground blinds are also known as "groundboxes".
There are several ways to hunt with deer blinds. The first is to wait for the animal, then sit still. You could also move and try to scare it away. If this is your preferred method, keep quiet and don’t move too often. This could cause the animal to believe you are a predator and make them run.
A deer blind can only be used in a specific spot. Choose a spot that isn't likely to blow your scent towards animals. Also, avoid areas where people hike frequently.
You should also know how to set up the blind properly. This is because you don't want the animal to run away from you.
