shooting open faced
When shooting "open faced" style, two stock fit dimensions become very important. Cast on or off, degree of pitch. Cast regulates windage and pitch regulates elevation. To test the point of impact one needs to use a pattern board. Raise the gun, touch the stock with your chin, aim dead on with the front bead. If your pattern is right of the desired point of impact, cast on will move the pattern left. If your pattern is too high, bringing the pitch in will drop the barrels, lowering your pattern.
Every shooter has a natural instinctive anchor point when mounting the gun.
This is the point that you most often place the gun upon mounting. A simple way to test your gun fit is to use a mirror. With an unloaded gun, stand in front of the mirror. Close your eyes and mount the gun. With your eyes closed you will avoid steering the gun and mount it naturally. Where are the barrels ? Right, left, or up or down. This will help you begin to understand what if any adjustments need to be made.
