I understand how they're meant to be shot, I just don't like that hold. Besides, as soon as a big red stag jumps in front of me and I quickly shoulder the rifle, all thought of placing the rifle differently in my shoulder will be fly away, just like a chunk of my shoulder!
I did a lot of competition shotgun shooting when I was younger and because of that I naturally shoot across my body offhand. But kneeling and prone I'm pretty square on and as I hunt almost exclusively on foot those types of shots come up regularly.
I know some folks love them but my personal view is if they were that great modern firearms would still come with one.
Yea, i am not fond of Crescent Butt Plates, The “Traditional Cats“ can have them The TC Hawkens don’t bother me, and i shoot some STOUT Stuff. The Lyman Plains i had was SCARY Sharp, You could Skin a Deer with that thing, That was the 1st thing i took care of on that Rifle when it was Brand new out of the Box. You will need the Rifle Version one I have worked with all 3 (Rifle, Shotgun, Carbine)
