Who cuts in "combs" in your shotgun stock?

The reason, I think, I need the comb installed, is - - -
Shot the same model - Browning 725 Citori Sporting, with a comb stock, and instantly was able to line up the front bead and mid bead. Shot 22/25.
Been having problems with aligning the sights on my new gun. Thinking of having just a "bead" on the end installed, like the gun above had, rather than the multi-color HIVIZ Litepipes that came with this gun. My clay count went up with the comb 725 Sporting. The guys had me mount my gun, as they looked down the sights where my eyes were, and both said I would improve my shooting, with a comb stock, because my eyes were NOT aligned down the rail.

sounds like as good a reason to get an adjustable comb as any. I have the 725 sporting and I also think I could benefit from one.

I'm no expert shooter, far, far from it.. I have been known to run up a streak of misses. But on my best shots, when I break a target that I don't expect to... I never remember where the bead was. On the shots I miss, I usually see that my bead is in the wrong place. Point is... I miss when I focus too much on the bead. For that reason, I agree with you on having a simple bead installed

1. STOP looking at your bead.. Look at the clay bird!!!!!

2. Get lessons from a good PROFESSIONAL

3. Get your gun fitted AFTER learning a proper mount from your lessons, also by a professional.

4. I got lessons at Triple B’s (now LA Clays) and put a couple thousand shells downrange at clays, then had my shotgun fitted by Bob Day.

6. Fits like a glove now. Even putting on a sweatshirt changes how it fits that how good it feels now.

7. I still kinda suck.

The bead(s) are there for a reason. To help you develop/verify a good mount, not to use while actually shooting a target.

Once you have devolved a good consistent mount, mount the gun wit your eyes closed, open your right eye (right handed shooter), are the beads lined up? If yes, no adjustments are necessary. If no, you may need an adjustable comb.

Now that you think everything is good, go to a pattern board to verify it.

I use a waist belt with bags, A couple of years ago I tried a vest with a pad messed me all up, Went back to the belt, The pad threw me off.

Pacific Sporting Arms.

They installed an adjustable comb on my son’s 694 and it looks great.

You should not be aiming a shotgun. Sounds as if a fitting is in order for you.

"I miss when I focus too much on the bead." Glad you noticed that. Why are you looking a your sights? Should be looking at the clay/bird. With a good fitting and some practice you will begin to naturally "aim" your shotgun were you are looking. (the bird/clay/target)

How much was it to have done?

[docent]

The prices I've been hearing - - - is around $500. My money doesn't grow on trees. Might have to wait for next stimulus check, to fund this project

[Daniel Hunter]

I think it was around $400

You might want to get the gun professonally fitted before having work like that done.

Get fitted first. The fitting will also determine your mount good or bad.

One thing to do is unload the gun, stand in front of a mirror, and make sure the bottom of your eye pupil is resting in the top of the rib, and centered. Lower gun and raise again looking at the mirror but not the bead. On every gun I have I have had to raise the comb between 1/4" and 3/8", depending how fat my cheeks get from indulging on holiday meals.

My old coach would have me unload the gun, then stand right in front of the muzzle and look to see if my pupil was lined up. Then tape foam in the right place to achieve rise and cast.

Really I am the poster child for doing stuff wrong. Can't tell you the stuff he made me strip off my gun.
