Today we want to talk about setting up your shotgun for USPSA shooting. The butt stock has three critical elements to it. We have the length of pull, the height and angle of the comb and the pitch or the angle of the recoil pad.
The length of pull needs to be short enough to clear my clothing, but long enough so that my nose and thumb don’t come together. As the comb touches your cheek, your eyes are placed in the middle of the sight every time.
The pitch or angle of the recoil pad is critical to keeping the entire rear surface of the pad against my shoulder. If the angle is too low or too high, I only get a single point of contact. You can also see that I’ve wrapped the butt stock with electrical tape to make it slide up against the clothing. These three elements, that we’ve talked about, consistently put my eye behind the sight and the gun on my shoulder to control it during the entire course of fire.
