pigeon pete Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well, that was full of useless information, especially from the man from mars that was also a load *** coming from the man that likes to throw his toys out the pram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon pete Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 When you increase lop the muzzles don't lower- you see less of the rib due to the now increased drop on your comb which more often than not causes head lifting to see the target and a resulting miss over the top. Fresh out the Dennis taylor 3 easy steps to checking your lop without going in off the black. New balls please. if you increase the the LOP and your cheek is still on the comb you then shoot low ,if you are having to lift your head your comb is wrong ,this why i said i had to put a cheek riser on in winter because my LOP has got longer !!!!!?? dont you lot listen or just thick , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right idea with a comb raiser but for the wrong reasons. Not so thick that it has prevented me achieving more in one month with a shotgun than you will do in a lifetime. Enjoy your thick fleeces, I'm off to bed! Love you x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love you x using a lazer is the same as using a pattern board ,i don't use it for moving targets its to see if the gun fits ,well you trap shooters dont stand or sit in a hide for hours on end in sub zero temps in your browning jackets do you ,;-) love you more sunshine sweet dreams xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 hey, pattern boards are great. but shooting a few easy targets, or targets that have a representation such as "flat away" could show you the poi is off. there are skeletal stocks that you can alter everything. usually an instructor can fit you to it, and write down the mesurements.

hillmouse Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I would suggest taking a few seconds to read the results of a couple of recent Majors and British Open Chamionships might help one or two understand that someone on here may just have done a wee bit of this shooting lark to a fair standard and know what he is on about. It's not me. I just do it for a living 7 days a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
