Proper Rifle Buttstock Placement with Navy SEAL Fred Ruiz
This guide details two primary methods for rifle buttstock placement in the shoulder: high and low. High placement utilizes the shoulder pocket for a stable mount, offering increased situational awareness and peripheral vision, but can create a pivot point for recoil. Low placement directs recoil energy more directly into the shoulder, potentially reducing felt recoil, but may decrease peripheral vision and require a lower head position. The choice between these techniques depends on the specific application.
