@@rogerpace9322 -- Great video, sir. I'm over 50 and have thought for years that the reason I can't hit anything with a shotgun (no matter how expensive the shotgun is) is that I simply started too late and that one must start shooting clays & doves at a young age to do any good. I've sold beautiful Benelli, Browning, and Remington shotguns because I couldn't hit any flying target with them.

Great tip on the weight gain. I shot a beretta AL2 well as a teenager weighing 165 lbs. I returned to the gun years later at 200 lbs and couldn't hit a thing, noticed I could see the entire rib. Made up a shim to drop the comb a little and now it fits well again.

Hi Roger, To expand on my comment a bit - I've got a Miroku MK38 Teague Sporter, which the Browning rep thought was a tad low on the comb for me. I bought a Beartooth Comb Raising kit to see if I could correct this without breaking the Bank. It was a great improvement on the first outing, but I wasn't completely sure I'd raised the comb enough. Fitted a slightly thicker adjustment pad and then watched your video. Tried the straw test and saw that I was now spot-on. Brilliant! One less excuse…….

Helpful video thanks. I have confirmed my gun doesn't fit. I need to increase cast as I'm shooting slightly to the left. I notice you push your head down onto the comb. I shoot skeet (gun mounted after release of the bird) and game. Ideally we should mount the gun with the neck held in the natural standing position. I don't think I drop my head at all and the rib is in correct position. My right eye needs to move about 4 or 5 mm to the left to be central to the rib. Its a cheap gun and not a special stock. Would it be easier to remove some of the comb with a spokeshave then refinish the woodwork instead of going through the hot oil and bending treatment?

@rogerpace9322

If you are happy to remove some of the wood then that is probably easier than the process of bending the stock...but yes whatever you do your eye needs to line up with the rib...much appreciated...stay well and happy shooting !!!

All fair dinkum Roger. Before we use your method we should find out if twin barreled shotguns are regulated properly. I have owned nice birdguns but one barrel shoots off a foot or two from the other. I just close my eyes, mount the gun and see if my rib picture is right, do it many times, practice to hone your mount. Thanks
