cheek weld to stock

[chaneylake]

this may be hard to describe, how tight do you keep your cheek welded to your rifle stock?

I seem to shoot better with what I call a light cheek weld

You and the rifle will become one, as you get comfortable with the weld. Keeping in mind that as the rear-sight is raised for longer distances, you may not have the complete weld that you enjoyed at closer settings, depending upon stock drop/design. We do the best we can, with what we have to work with .

I totally agree Jim, I have not shot mine past 300 yards yet, I still have not built my moveable gong target so I can move further out

anyways, I was shooting real good today at 300 and I realized that I had a light cheek weld vs Thursday when I was not shooting well with a sorta firm cheek weld

this is what resulted in the posted question, I have never have any instructions from any one in this sport other that what I have read/retained/learned from people like you on this site

I shoot a military stock....so I don't get much "weld". I have a MVA XLR soule staff.

How I make contact is; touch the bill of my hat to the sight staff. Then contact my chin/cheek to the stock.

As the distance increases I guess I open my mouth/move my jaw a little to maintain a point of contact....just so my body is contacting/touching my rifle.

This hat-to-sight and chin-to-stock contact give me a good 2-point reference so I can repeat everything from shot to shot, at any distance.

Just remember, that your cheek weld will change as you dial the tang sight higher.
