Butt cuffs/stock mounted sidesaddle

[prc77]

For those of you that have butt cuffs or a stock mounted side saddle. How do you accurately engage a target if you have to switch to your weak side.

You've identified exactly the problem. It's very difficult to somewhat impossible to mount the stock and get a good cheek weld in that scenario. I've known some who would rotate the cuff to the opposite side, but that is wasted effort (IMO) in a fight and practicing it is going to wear out the elastic in most butt cuffs pretty quickly.

I tried early on in my travels to work that out and never could which is why I use receiver mounted sidesaddles or a Speedfeed with the extra rounds stored inside the stock.

Stocks that mount the extra ammo forward of the cheek contact area would seem to be the only other practical answer as I think about it.

I just roll the shotgun a bit to get a good cheek weld. I prefer to keep the shells mounted pretty low as well.

Interesting. What does that do to stock placement on the shoulder?

[G-forceJunkie]

Nothing for me. I keep the lower portion of the butt in position and rotate it around that, then tip your head if you need. Lets face it, shooting a rifle off your "wrong" side always feels wierd, and perfect placement is probably not a huge factor. It always going to be a compromise. Try it first with your normal shooting shoulder, I can roll it over nearly 45 degrees before it feels wierd. Your shoulder may take a little more abuse since the butt is not in the perfect position. Works me me.

Mine's elastic, so I kind of roll it a bit so the shells aren't in the middle of the stock, but more towards the bottom. I also tend to roll out the stock a bit when I'm shooting weak-side anyhow, so it seems to work fine.
