Stock length
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 1:12 am
I have relatively long forearm and as a result have a longer stock length set up compared to other shooters of similar height and built as myself.
If you look behind a shooter (not along the line of fire but behind his back perpendicular to the line of fire), you may find most if not all shooters have the right hand (right-handed shooter) behind or just at the left shoulder. i.e. you won't be able to see his/her right hand if looking from behind because it is hidden inside the left shoulder.
In my case, because my forearm is long and hence the stock length but my body is slim, and as you can see in my photo, my right hand is placed further towards the target. Do you think this placement is ok? Or should I shorten the stock to bring the right hand back away from the target?
Thanks.
