Gil Ash from OSP Shooting School explains the concept of 'third dimension cast off' in shotgun stocks. This refers to the bending of the buttstock, typically achieved by heating and shaping it, to correct for the shooter's shoulder pocket and eye alignment. Proper cast off ensures the shooter's eye is aligned with the gun's rib when mounted consistently, leading to more accurate shooting.

This guide details the essential elements of shotgun stock fitment, as explained by expert Jonny Carter on TGS Outdoors. It covers critical measurements like Length of Pull, Cast, Pitch, and Drop, emphasizing how these factors contribute to consistent gun mounting and accurate shooting. The video highlights the importance of periodic adjustments, especially with modern shotguns featuring adjustable components, to maintain optimal fit as a shooter's body changes.

This guide, based on instruction from Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School, details the critical aspects of shotgun stock fitting. It covers the three primary dimensions: length of pull, drop at comb, and cast, emphasizing the importance of a consistent gun mount. The guide provides practical measurement techniques and explains the impact of stock adjustments, such as the 1/4 inch to 1 inch ratio for length of pull.

Master Gunsmith Jack Rowe demonstrates a technique for bending shotgun stocks, emphasizing the importance of compensating for wood springback by over-bending. He details the process of wrapping, clamping, bending, and cooling the stock, followed by crucial refitting and safety checks to ensure proper function and prevent mechanism seizure. This technique is vital for optimizing a shotgun's fit to the shooter, particularly for improving accuracy in aging or differently-abled individuals.
