A comb adjustment at point of impact (comb adjustment) is a simple but effective technique to alter the trajectory of shots. A shim system or cast-off is one way to adjust the height of the comb. Depending on the results, different adjustments may be needed. This article will present three methods to adjust point of impactcomb. We will also discuss a simple yet powerful casting-off technique.
To raise or lower your comb, use 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 comb first remove the stock bolt and insert the shim. Then, insert a thin shim, such as 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 will allow you to raise your comb by 1 inch. You can also adjust the comb's height and cast with a recoilpad.
Cast-off
It is easy to change the point of impact on your rifle. This requires a good compass height. To set the correct comb height, aim your rifle at a target at a distance. The target should lie approximately 16 feet away. Once you have set the proper compass height, adjust the cast of your gun. The comb can be adjusted to adjust the rifle's point at impact by raising it 1/8 inch. To compensate for shooting to the left or right, raise your comb one inch and adjust the cast. You can also use a sheet test to confirm the proper shooting position.
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 fig 8
A fig 8 is a good choice for point of-impact comb adjustment. However, there are disadvantages. You'll first need to adjust your vision 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.

How many Americans rely on hunting for their livelihood?
Over 300 million hunters reside in the United States. This means there are more hunters than New York City residents.
Hunting is a American pastime which dates back to centuries. But, Americans are hunting less for sport today than ever. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service(FWS) says that only 2 per cent of the population hunts on a regular basis. Even lower is the number of young adults who hunt regularly.
But while hunting may seem like a relic of another time, it remains popular among older generations. A recent survey revealed that 68% of baby boomers want to hunt again once they retire. Hunting is an opportunity to reconnect with nature and experience the outdoors.
For younger generations hunting is not necessarily a priority. In fact, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, only 18 percent of millennials consider themselves avid shooters.
That's why FWS is working hard to make sure that America's wild places remain open for everyone to experience.
In 2014, the agency started the "Wild Lands” initiative to raise awareness about the importance of public lands. The goal is to educate people about the importance of preserving these areas and encourage them to visit them.
Conservation efforts are also encouraged through the Wild Lands Program. FWS and National Rifle Association collaborated to create Project Gunter a youth shooters program. This program helps children learn how to safely handle firearms, as well as safety and marksmanship skills.
Project Gunter is expanding to include minorities and women. It has resulted in more children learning to shoot guns and taking part in wildlife conservation.

You should also make sure he understands the rules of shooting. For example, you should teach him to always keep his finger off the trigger until ready to fire. You should immediately call 911 if he shoots himself in error.
The next step is to teach him how to handle different types of weapons. This includes rifles, shotguns, pistols, and airguns. Your kid should understand how these different kinds of weapons work so that he can choose which one suits his skill level best. Consider the weapon's size, weight, power, accuracy, and power when selecting a weapon. A.22 caliber rifle is a good choice for a starter rifle. This rifle is small enough to be carried by beginners, but powerful enough to kill pests such as squirrels. On the other hand, a 12 gauge shotgun is large enough for adults to hold comfortably while still having plenty of power to kill animals. Airguns make it easy for children to learn to shoot.
It is now time to help your child practice shooting at target. To find the best position and angle for him, he should experiment with them. You must also ensure that he understands how to properly clean, maintain, and store his weapon.
After your child has mastered the basics you can start hunting. There are many different ways to teach your kid how to hunt. Another way to teach your child how to hunt is to take him with you on outings into the woods. Another option is to buy a gun in a store and demonstrate how to load it.

They are also fun to play with and can become friends with your kid.
If none of these options appeal to you, you can hire someone who will teach your child. This method, however, is costly and requires a lot babysitting.
