ERIK:
What is proper length of pull? It is fitting the rifle or shotgun stock to the shooter. Proper length of pull will propely aligh the sights, head and eye coordination to the gun, and proper shouldering of the firearm so as to improve accuracy and reduce recoil.
LENGTH OF PULL ON THE FIRE ARM:
Measured Distance from the face of the trigger to the end of the butt stock.
LENGTH OF PULL ON THE SHOOTER:
Measured Distance from the face of the trigger finger, to the inside crook of a bent elbow. (wearing the same jacket you hunt with)
Proper fit will allow the shooter to shoulder the firearm and it will come naturally to the cheek and shoulder, without raising or lowering the head to pick up sights..
Mfg'd rifles and shotgun normally will have about a 13 1/4 approx. lenght of pull.
