To ensure the maximum mobility and control, the weight should be well-balanced and distributed seventy percent on the ball of the front (left) foot and thirty percent on the back foot. There should be a slightly forward inclination of the body from the waist up, towards the target, like a boxer ready to throw a punch. The head should be slightly forward and to the right with the chin angled down (For the right handed.)
Â
This set-up ensures that the head is in the correct position to receive the comb and stock into the face without any head movement. It also has the advantage of keeping the head forward and down while taking the shot. The forward weight can be increased on those shots where head lifting is most prevalent, even slightly bending the knee of the leg to keep the weight forward. This works well for shooting rabbits, targets beneath the feet and low, quartering targets.
Â
There will be subtle differences in each individual’s set-up to allow for differences in physique and specific demands of the discipline being shot.
