If your armor was never an impediment to a good stock-weld (or, better, never an impediment that required a lot of range time to internalize work-arounds that aren't covered in the standard train-up), then you must've been issued better kit than me. <Boss Mongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489288472299210881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069865645245246238.post-39595858451033771042010-09-27T01:00:08.060-05:002010-09-27T01:00:08.060-05:00Also it's a polo shirt.

The point is that a good solid hold is essential to accurate and consistant shot placement.

Having spent plenty of time wearing the same armor, I've never had an issue with getting the stock in contact with my shoulder, even for fast snap shooting. I'd gladly trade a half second to ensure I'm getting rounds on target rather than spraying the area and loosing even more time with the weapon bouncing around unsupported.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141654754595945677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069865645245246238.post-72830266527008806102010-09-26T14:59:56.510-05:002010-09-26T14:59:56.510-05:00Agree with all...but: neither of the firers pictur...Agree with all...but: neither of the firers pictured are wearing body armor. I always found that body armor screwed with my butt-stock-weld to a distracting degree, and never failed to be a pain in the ass. On the armor, the butt-stock doesn't feel as stable or secure as it should. Pull it outside to the outer shoulder or upper arm, and your arm is in an unnatural and fatiguing position.<Boss Mongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489288472299210881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069865645245246238.post-83457974180973418282010-09-26T13:38:00.526-05:002010-09-26T13:38:00.526-05:00I'm a huge proponent of "driving the gun,...I'm a huge proponent of "driving the gun," so getting that support arm way out is pretty important to me.

At the very least he could push that grip further down the rails to the muzzle if he is slap firing like that. <br />I ran with it in the same place as he does and prefer to do so, but that buttstock is tight in to my shoulder.
