This YouTube video from the NSSF channel features Gil Ash from OSP Shooting School providing expert instruction on achieving optimal shotgun fit. The video focuses on the three key dimensions of shotgun fit: length of pull, drop at comb, and cast off. By understanding and adjusting these elements, shooters can improve their control and accuracy with a shotgun. The description also includes links to various NSSF initiatives and resources, encouraging viewers to get involved in shooting and hunting.

This video features Gil Ash from OSP Shooting School explaining the importance of shotgun stock modification, specifically 'cast-off' or 'cast-on,' for achieving precise downrange accuracy by ensuring proper eye alignment with the rib. The video also promotes the NSSF YouTube channel for more in-depth content and encourages engagement with their various initiatives like #LetsGoShooting and #PlusOneMovement.

Proper shotgun fit is crucial for accurate shooting and involves three key dimensions: length of pull, drop at comb, and cast. Gil Ash explains how to measure length of pull using a finger gap and the 4:1 ratio for adjustments. He also details how drop at comb affects eye alignment with the rib, and how cast (off for right-handed, on for left-handed) laterally aligns the eye. Consistent gun mount is essential for achieving an accurate fit.

Master Gunsmith Jack Rowe demonstrates the technique for bending a shotgun stock using a vise and heat. He emphasizes the importance of over-bending to compensate for wood springback and stresses thorough post-bending cleaning to ensure firearm safety and functionality. This technique is crucial for achieving proper gun fit and improving shooter accuracy, especially for aging shooters.
