Cheek Pressure in the Showroom vs. Cheek Pressure While S...
One of the first things we learned is that when shooters mount a shotgun in the showroom, they always put more cheek pressure on the comb than they do when they’re actually shooting the gun. When we mention this to shooters, there is always one or two who aren’t convinced. So we have them mount their gun indoors and take a photo of their cheek pressure.
