Shoulder pocket

[GrandpaDeadLegs]

Question for fundamental Frank:

How do you make the correct shoulder pocket?

I tried to listen to all the podcasts before I asked. I can make a million different shapes and sizes it seems like there has to be some basic rules for elbow to trigger geometry...

What I do is square up the end of the buttstock to my shoulder. Then I place the bottom edge of the buttstock into the pocket. I also slightly roll my shoulders forward so I'm slightly hunched over. This allows me more "pocket" to place the buttstock in. This is for upright positioning amd and I haven't gotten my prone positioning down just yet.

@Lowlight should the recoil pad ever touch your collar bone?

 

[Lowlight]

Depends on the shooter, a lot of people are on their collar bone, i am

Probably something better asked in person now that I think about it more ... You said you were going to have a class in Michigan on the podcast - is that for real?
