When i get into my shooting posture, close my eyes and adjust for a comfortable, natural position, i open my eyes to find that there is space between the butt plate and my shoulder. When i close that space, and pull the stock into my shoulder, my trigger arm is less comfortable and my eye relief is wrong.
The search is on for a solution to the wood stock length, more than the reduced recoil, and that’s where some experienced thoughts and suggestions would come in handy.
If I’m looking at the mechanics of body position or technique, that’s one thing I’d be interested in.
If I’m looking at aftermarket recoil pads, there seem to be quite a few. Kick Killer, Recoil Eraser, Shooters Pad, Limbsaver, Pachmayr, Magpul and Beartooth.
They include Slip-on and grind-to-fit styles, and there are the obvious benefits to a pad, but some issues are with screw alignment, grinding, semi-permanent adhesives, gel material that might diminish over time, discoloration of wood stocks and leather vs rubber.
Any experience based thoughts?
