Guys,
I cant seem to find anything via the search facility so would ask if any members are using high ribs for sporting, Im not talking trap guns set up to shoot high but any of these sporters that still allow you to shoot flat but with a more elevated head position - if so how are you getting on with them?
Due to an accident years ago I have a relatively stiff neck and dont find it easy to touch my chest with my chin, as a result pushing my head forward and down over a standard rib isnt comfortable. When I bought my gun - Zoli Kronos - I felt I was seeing a fairly flat rib once I settled down onto the comb, the gun shop agreed after looking at me mounting the gun in my own time. I have now concluded that the truth is when I shoot I dont get down the same as I do when dry mounting with lots of time to settle in. I think this is much more to do with my comfort/inflexible neck than laziness and I feel a more upright shooting position would suit me better.
Im even wondering if I could just build or buy myself an adjustable rib and then tinker with it until I get it shooting where Im looking on a pattern plate. I should add I have an engineering background and full access to a machine shop.
Thanks
Al
