A comb adjustment for point of impact is a simple, yet effective, technique for changing the trajectory of a shot. You can adjust the height of your comb by using a shim, cast-off, or a figure 8. Different adjustments may need to be made depending on the results. This article will describe three methods of adjustment for point-of-impact combs. A simple but effective casting-off method will also be covered.
You can adjust the height or depth of your comb by using 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 your comb, remove the stock bolt first and then insert a small shim. Next, insert a thin strip of shim such as a flat toothpick made from wood. 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. These shim kits can be used to adjust the height of your comb. A shimkit can increase the comb's height by one inch. Recoil pads can be used to adjust the cast and height of the comb.
A cast-off
Changing the point of impact of your rifle is a simple process that requires proper compass height. Aim your rifle at a distant target to set the correct comb height. The target should be at least 16 yards away. After you have established the correct compass height, you can adjust the gun's cast. The comb can be adjusted to adjust the rifle's point at impact by raising it 1/8 inch. To adjust for the difference in shooting direction, raise the length of the comb by an inch. You can also do a sheet test to verify your shooting position.
Cast-off comb adjustments are a common feature on many new shotguns. Cast-off or angled combs can be used to adjust the angle of your point, or vice versa, depending on how the shooter is shaped. Cast-off combs can be especially helpful for right-handers who have large chests or wide-spaced eyes. You can combine the cast-off and cast on combs.
Use a fig 8.
Using a fig 8 for point-of-impact comb adjustment is not a bad idea, but there are some disadvantages as well. First of all, you'll need to adjust your sight picture. You won't notice a difference in your POI if your comb is adjusted to the center line of the figure-8. The second thing you need to do is move your eye.

Whitetail deer (68%), mule deer (13%), and black bears (10%) are the most common targets for hunters.
While there aren't any national statistics on how many women hunt this sport, evidence indicates that the numbers of female hunters is increasing.
Why is it that only 1% of hunters kill deer annually, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The USDA estimates that approximately 6.5 million Americans hunt buck. Only 2.2 million shoot one.
This means only 0.6% of all hunters will kill a deer each and every year.

How To
How to hunt wild hogs
Large animals, wild hogs can be found across North America, Africa and Asia. Wild hogs feed on vegetation and small animals such a rabbits or mice, birds, insects, and fish. They usually eat at nights. One piglet is born after the gestation period of approximately six months. A sow has one child every two years. Wild hogs can be solitary, but they may live in herds.
Wild boars typically weigh around 200 pounds (90kg). Their head length averages from 10 to 12 inches (25-30 cm), while their body length ranges from 20 to 30 inches (50-75 cm). Wild pigs have short tails, long legs and broad shoulders. They have a thick fat layer beneath their skin.
They have a very strong sense of smell, hearing, and sight. These senses are used to find food and detect danger. They can run upto 35 mph (56 km/h) at speeds of up to 14 mph and jump upto 15 feet (4 m) from a distance of just under 4 m. They are sharp-toothed and have sharp claws. They are strong and aggressive in defense against predators.
Hunting wild Hogs can be difficult as they are agile, intelligent, and elusive. Hunting wild animals requires precision and careful stalking. Hunting too soon can cause the animal to escape. If hunters shoot too late, the animal may die before it reaches cover.
There are many ways to hunt wild hogs. The most common is shooting. This requires hunters to locate the animal and wait for it to arrive in range. Another option is trapping. Trapping involves setting traps near water sources where the hogs drink. The traps are often equipped with a scent lure that includes peanut butter mixed with corn meal. When the trap is opened, the hunter shoots a trapped pig.
Snaring, another method, is also an option. To catch the pig, snaring uses a rope-covered noose. It works best when the pigs are caught during their mating season.
Other options include poisoning or spearing. Netting and spearing are methods of stopping pigs' breathing by placing a net around the neck or spearing them. Poisoning refers to injecting poison in the pig's neck.
Hunters who wish to hunt wild hogs need to be prepared for the cold weather. For warmth, hunters may need to wear snowshoes in certain areas. To help track animals, some hunters have dogs.
