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 provides a beginner's guide to determining if a shotgun fits correctly. Key measurements like Length of Pull (LOP), Drop at Comb, and Drop at Heel are explained and demonstrated. The 'straw test' is presented as a practical method to check eye alignment and cheek weld for a personalized fit.

This video demonstrates the process of setting the drop on a semi-inletted buttstock, a crucial step in gunsmithing. Larry Potterfield, founder of MidwayUSA, guides viewers through using a straight edge clamped to the barrel rib to mark the desired drop on the buttstock. He then details filing the comb and heel to the marks and connecting them with a flat surface. The demonstration utilizes a Parker Brothers sidelock double shotgun, showcasing a practical application of this gunsmithing technique.

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.
