My wife has been working on learning to shoot rifles and shotguns recently. She already enjoys pistols and wants to expand her skills.
Problem is she never seemed to understand what I mean when I told her to "get the stock up to your cheek." If she shoulders the gun properly she always kept her head up straight. No matter how many times I demonstrated it, she just didn't seem to "get it." The only way she could was to get the stock up high enough that only the heel is touching her shoulder. Not a good position.
Then it occured to me that she's had a cervical fusion, and probably can't get her neck into the proper position. She has to hold her head pretty well straight. (Duhhhhh Smacks self in head for not "getting it" myself.)
Anybody else ever have this problem? If so what did you do to overcome it, or what adjustments did you make to the firearm? I've thought of see though scope mounts. Maybe they'd bring the sight up to where she din't have to contort to get in position.
Any ideas?
